I know, I know, the video rips off "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes a little bit. Still, this song, used by Apple in an iPod commercial, was a minor hit for this UK duo. Katie White and Jules de Martino are both multiinstrumental, so their sound, while minimalist, is far richer than would be expected from just two people.
By the way, if you have 3D glasses, put them on. This video is in 3D.
Although there were session musicians as part of the studio version of this song, Jules and Katie are perfectly capable of playing this very minimalist song themselves. Here they are, live, and just the two of them, at the AOL Sessions studio. I believe the mat Katie is dancing on is actually an instrument in and of itself. The video is a little smaller and grainy, so dial-up users could see it, too.
(I was just kidding about the dial-up)
For those so inclined, here is the iPod commercial. I miss these silhouettes. I wish Apple would bring them back.
