Adult Leisure’s self-shot video for “Kiss Me Like You Miss Her” strips back all artifice and delivers a raw and authentic portrayal of life’s everyday struggles. Filmed entirely on their phones, the band leans into simplicity, ensuring the visuals resonate with the song’s stark theme: the anxiety of living on the financial edge.
Drummer Nathan Searle explains,
“To reflect the harsh reality of the cost of living crisis in the UK, we wanted this video to feel simple and genuine. A polished production wouldn’t have felt appropriate for the story we wanted to tell.”
This decision transforms limitation into a creative strength by emphasizing the narrative’s honesty and grit. The handheld aesthetic aligns seamlessly with the song’s energy, creating a stripped-back but impactful viewing experience. Every frame feels intentional, with the unpolished edges capturing a sense of immediacy that a high-budget production could never replicate.
Adult Leisure’s approach underscores a vital truth: raw storytelling can be just as effective, if not more so, than glossy perfection. Crafting a visual piece that is as memorable as the music itself, the”Kiss Me Like You Miss Her” video stands as a powerful testament to the band’s commitment to authenticity
