Pareidolia is a psychological term for the human tendency to see meaning in random patterns, especially faces. The video for Kate Tempest’s heartfelt song of hope - “People’s Faces” - is a simple collection of objects that seem to be looking out at the world with their own expression. It’s a bit silly, compared to the song’s lyricism, which gives the video an odd feel. But even though we already posted the Streatham version of this song, not posting this original, sparse but wide-open Rick Rubin-produced anthem would be a lot sillier, really. What a song. What a poet. What a time we are living in.

We made a new video for People's Faces. We've been collecting these images for aaaages. thanks to Dan Carey for editing the video and to Archie, Hinako, Laur...
