One of my favorite break out acts of 2013, Brooklyn trio Little Daylight captivated listeners from the start with their soaring, upbeat indie pop sensibilities. Getting their start in the summer of 2012, Little Daylight began priming the world for their pop aesthetic through a series of official remixes for the likes of Passion Pit, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Freelance Whales.

Huge fans of DIY, the trio have just released the official visuals for their hit single “Overdose”, which they created themselves:

“A few days after Hurricane Sandy, Little Daylight took to the street with a team of friends armed with cameras. While Con Edison attempted to restore power, the band raced against the clock, shooting in darkened neighborhoods as Nikki danced in the shadows without a plan or pretense. The result was a clip that captured an infectious, after-hours joie de vivre and further communicated the band’s singular perspective.”

The video was shot and directed by Special Problems (Tame Impala, Wolfmother, Naked and Famous) and comes just as the group signed with Capitol Records after touring with Charli XCX, The Neighbourhood, and Bastille earlier this year. Check out the pounding drums and frontwoman Nikki’s sensuous lilt in the official video for “Overdose” below.
