LOGO reveal the new video of «Cardiocleptomania», their last stunning EP, released on Kitsuné! The video is directed by Alice & Virgile, who had already done wonders with LOGO’s acclaimed track « Fabrice”.

Designed to challenge and condemn homophobia in sports as much as it is the story of opposite impulses, the video is willing to fight one of the most painful and taboo subjects of nowadays.

A fight that already has a lot of support as the film is already number one on Hypetrack and Hypebeast!

Filmed at the the French Institute of Sport (INSEP), the video stars the handsome actor Niels Schneider, previously seen in Xavier Dolan’s Heartbeats (Les amours imaginaires), as the leader of a cycling team. One of his team mates, a lonely, hesitant boy, is sitting on a fence: he seems to keep aloof from the other boys and to hide a secret yearning for the team leader, Niels Schneider.

Once, as they get together in the locker room, the solitary boy can’t help kissing the team leader. Offended — or is he? —, the leader leaves only to return and smack the other boy as hard as he can.

What leaves us on a scene as enigmatic as “Cardiocleptomania” ‘s name, which is perhaps the scientific term for a “heart robbery”.

Crowning all, the song’s voltages, convulsive piano and sticky sub-bass lines throbbing in the background, also add hints of tenseness to this drama midway between romance and abruptness.
