The Presets

14 February 2009 :: posted by Travis

The Presets put out a new video for “If I Know You” directed by Eva Husson. Absolutely brilliant. Totally love the narrative on this one. Easily one of The Presets most bizzarre/beautiful/haunting songs, Husson is flawlessly able to transfer the mood to film.

1. The Presets are underappreciated… I love when groups from this genre make videos. You never know what’s going to transpire.

3. i’ll admit – i didn’t really understand the filmclip but it looks pro so i’ll just go ahead an assume it’s ties in with the lyrics. song is bliss though.

5. Song was ok. They almost had something special..just ends up being short of the mark.

   Video was ok. Really nicely shot. Narrative was meh, I thought.

   Agreed tho..Presets can be amazing.

13. Wow… just wow.

    I’ll admit. I totally got choked up.

    Favorite track on the album and a big standing ovation for Mz. Husson for a seamless adaptation.

17. easily the best video of 2009: what husson does really embraces the presets and takes what they did to the next level. it really is moving.

    husson really is a powerful filmmaker–between this and “kim & jessie,” she is fucking fantastic.

21. Not all Darkwave vocals are good or even mid grade, but this one was the exception. The Presets have came forward with their A-game. Kudo’s

23. Whup, you are being uber-critical of the undeserving. This song is incredible. Big up to the Presets.
