Song: “Because I’m Me”
Producer: The Avalanches
Album: Wildflower
Director: Greg Brunkalla
The Avalanches seem to have a soft spot for the metro. After putting out an animated video for “Subways” in August, the Melbourne group’s latest video for “Because I’m Me” takes place at the West 4th Street subway station in New York City. In the Greg Brunkalla-directed clip, a young boy has a crush on one of the workers and decides to sing and dance to try and win her over. What appears to be any old stranger sitting on the bench nearby turns out to be Sonny Cheeba of Camp Lo, who spits a couple of verses as cool as you like.
The track is taken from The Avalanches’ comeback album, Wildflower.
