Glove - “Personality Change”

Originally published by Alt Citizen

Glove is from Tampa, and that region’s pastel colored south Florida vibe casts an aesthetic tint over the visuals for the band’s video for their latest single. But don’t mistake this for a retirement community bop, Personality Change rides the darker side of New Wave with an icy cool precision that contrasts nicely with the soft glow visuals. Striking mannequin-like stances, the band works through the track like pros, occasionally making direct eye contact with the camera in a manner that walks a fine line between creepy and suggestive but is undeniably engaging.

Surrounded by suspended kinetic sculptures serving as visual representation of the topic at hand, vocalist Rod Woolf delivers deadpan musings on wearing one’s personality like a fashion. Like the kinetic sculptures, you’re always made of the same pieces but depending on the angle the presentation is completely different and always shifting with the slightest movement of air. Life imitating art, indeed.
