Jonathan Boulet is the newest player in the Modular clubhouse, a precociously inspired 21 year old skate rat from Sydneys Northwest. Wielding a brand of ceremoniously uplifting, deeply colourful pop that sounds like something for which youve been inadvertently searching but never dreamed youd find, his debut, self-titled record is a certified treasure trove skip across the indie pop spectrum, from melancholic acoustic laments to more abstract electronica-tinged instrumentals, from tribal, ritualistic chants to full blown Panavision pop.
A Community Service Announcement is the righteously smashing single from the Jonathan Boulet album, already a repeat performer at alternative and community radio. An inspired call to arms for 21 st century dreamers, A Community Service Announcement s unbridled joy is matched only by the riotous natural and digital destruction in its accompanying video, directed by New Zealand duo Special Problems .
The video for A Community Service Announcement sees a gang of misfits charging through the stunning natural landscape on New Zealand s west coast, coated in a haze of digital distortion. Across beaches, through forests and caves, the dramatic war of colour and pixellation that ensues proves the perfect accompaniment to the poetic drama in the song. Check out Fasterlouder this week for the premier.
