I remember these guys from when I was a kid. It was both fascinating and terrifying.

I've recently gotten back into Xiu Xiu. Saw them live way back when they released Fabulous Muscles. I've only really listened to their Air Force album since then. Dear God I Hate Myself was nice to discover during a depressive funk I was in recently.

Director Matt Johnson inserts the band "Alvvays" into archival footage from the 1967 Monteral Expo. In the video, that band has been seamlessly edited into archival footage of the fair from the National Film Board of Canada.


Johnson shot the band on 16mm film, btw-

"I got addicted to 60's film aesthetics making my last movie and this was the perfect excuse to revisit that world. The footage shot by the National Film Board during Expo67 is an unknown masterpiece of Canadian cinema - of course we had to hide Alvvays in it. By using the same cameras and film as the Nfb in '67 we found a way to put Molly and company on stage at the biggest festival our country has ever seen. See if you can find them all!"

The band tell us, "Canada was at its coolest fifty years ago in Montreal at Expo '67. The National Film Board caught a young country at its most iconic on sweet saturated 16mm. We fetishize retro-futurism and are thrilled our buddy Matt Johnson was able to facilitate our half-century temporal trip back to peak pop and op. "
