Music video

The music video is definitely one of their odder ones, featuring lead singer Kav changing t-shirts on the streets of New York whilst walking backward with smoke coming out of his mouth. It then pans to the band running in Central Park in a similar style to the "Who Sold Her Out" video. A Central Park landscape Central Park is a large public, urban park (843 acres or 3. ...

Stuart MacLeod had this to say about the video.

“The concept basically was going to be a Bob Dylan-esque sort of thing, but instead of placards with key lyrics on, Kav was going to be walking down the street taking off t-shirts," explains MacLeod. "Each new t-shirt underneath had a new key lyric on it”

After a quick mock-up at home, the logistics of donning t-shirts in real time was proving more difficult than anticipated. In frustration, MacLeod hit the rewind button and the sudden flurry of activity saw the concept morph into a music video.

The flash of inspiration meant that Temperley had to learn all the lyrics to New York in reverse and, not only negotiate walking and talking backwards, but work his way through over 50 t-shirts as well.

“He had his hands full that’s for sure,” MacLeod laughs. “Me and Joel just pop up in the background now and then. We even added a bit of smoke coming out of his mouth, like the mist coming out of the grates in Manhattan.”

A competition is currently running on the Eskimo Joe website for people to create a remix of the song "New York", with the winning remix to be included on the single.
