Marian Hill release hypnotic video for Down

Philadelphia duo Marian Hill have been bubbling under for a couple of years now - but they received a well-deserved shot in the arm when Apple picked one of their songs to soundtrack its first AirPod commercial.


After the advert premiered in America on 14 January, Nielsen Music recorded a major increase in downloads for Down - with its figures jumping from "negligible" to 101,000, sending it into the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100.

The song has now racked up 31 million Spotify plays - and the band are hoping to sustain their figures with the release of an eerie, hypnotic video - in which singer Samantha Gongol and producer Jeremy Lloyd plummet to the ground in an out-of-control elevator.

It's a perfect fit for the sparse, spooky electropop of the song. If you're a fan of AlunaGeorge, this will be firmly in your ballpark.
