You may know the Brooklyn-based dance-rock group Legs from their appearance on the soundtrack to last year’s Obvious Child—one of our favorite movies of 2014—but soon the group is setting out on their own to release Altitud, their debut album born out of a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Ahead of that release, the band have shared the video for “Top Of The World,” a crisp and funky trip to the land of public access, complete with a mustachioed host and lots and lots of air guitar (not to mention air bass, air drums, and air vocals…?).
Of the surreal, instrument-less performance, drummer Juan Miguel Marin explains, “Trying to make something out of nothing, is a recurrent theme for a lot of us. This video (not the song), is exactly that.”
“The concept of the band has been to make people feel something, and get up and move, let loose, get a little funky and a little weird, and create a party out of thin air,” adds Jack Ramsey. “We wanted to make something that had great energy but also an element of humor and I think the quirkiness of the video speaks to that.”
Altitud is out March 31 via a self-release.
