New Video: Dominant Legs, ‘Hoop of Love’

Dominant Legs‘ latest video for "Hoop of Love" features the two band members happily leaving a city that looks to be San Francisco in exchange for a jaunt to the woods. Once there, they act appropriately for the summer, doing backflips (on land and water), eating fresh fruit, smiling a lot and prancing about like an Urban Outfitters ad. "Hoop of Love" froths in Technicolor synth and charming electric guitar shimmies. Ryan Lynch’s falsetto vocals dream of junior high crush awash in pastel flowers and glitter stickers, aching to "keep his mind shut…to not want to know the joke." Dominant Legs’ easy pop is a mechanism to stretch out the blissful days and transform them into an everyday false reality.
