This subject of melancholia is rarely far from the surface amongst the tracks that are collected on Hoorsees. It is, however, somewhat lightened by the shimmering guitars of Alex Delamard and Thomas Gachod, the sweet vocal interplay of Delamard and bassist Zo\u00e9 Gilbert, and the gently insistent drive of Nicolas Conte\u2019s drums.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track is accompanied by a visual that Delamard cut using his mother&#8217;s old camcorder; the scenes shifting between a lazy afternoon in his Parisian apartment and a recording session in the south of France. Listen to the track and watch the visualizer via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5D81LJHNo3A?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Videogames<\/em> follows the October release of the single <em>Overdry<\/em>; a bittersweet melodic gem about wrestling to overcome a mental breakdown. The lyrical sentiment delivered soaked in jangling guitar crunch, waves of cymbals and the melancholy interplay of Delamard and Gilbert\u2019s vocals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s a motto, or rallying cry, that one could readily associate with Hoorsees\u2019 upcoming debut, it is that of the album\u2019s fourth track <em>Get Tired<\/em>. A motif that encapsulates the dragging sadness and subtly wry humor that pervades Delamard\u2019s writing. The track itself might be the saddest reflection on love within the album, but it\u2019s also a screwed-up kind of solution; offering ownership to escapism.
