Film At 11: Tom Vek

After a six-year absence from the music scene, Tom Vek returns with sophomore album Leisure Seizure (Downtown). Saam Farahand, a U.K. director who’s worked with the xx, Klaxons and Simian Mobile Disco, conceptualized a video for LP track “Aroused” that would make anyone want a cigarette. Says Vek of the meaning behind the imagery in the smoke-filled video, “It’s a nod to the way in which smoking is used heavily and quite innocently in art and fashion. In the video, it represents feelings of being overwhelmed and extremities, both of which tie in with the sentiment of the album.” Leisure Seizure is currently available digitally, but look for a physical release on September 13.
