The Mattson 2

Essence

This is how you film a music video.

Green screens and snazzy throwback Goodwill clothing finds is how you film a music video. 

I remember covering The Mattson 2 a number of years ago and loving their shit, but I don't remember trying to find applications for becoming the third Mattson brother as fast as I did when I first peeped this "Essence" video.

Say all you want about how incredibly delicious the 80s steeze is on this bitch, but that guitar solo is giving my goosebumps erections and those erections on my goosebumps are freshly shaven bro. DAMN this is smooth. 

I especially love the behind the scenes ending of the jam where they show all these people rocking the clothes they bought expressly for this video shoot in one big group. 

NOW THIS IS A COMMUNITY I CAN GET BEHIND, WITH MY PINK FANNY PACK. 

RAD!
