Bristol-based alt-indie quartet Adult Leisure has released the video for their new single, “Kiss Me Like You Miss Her,” which came out on November 15, 2024. The band filmed the entire music video themselves using their phones. This approach reflects the song’s theme, shedding light on the everyday anxieties faced by individuals living on the breadline.
Discussing what they hoped to achieve with the music video, drummer Nathan Searle says, “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. Instead, we filmed the entire video ourselves, working with what we had and keeping things as straightforward as possible. This approach highlights how creativity and resourcefulness often emerge from limitation. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t need to be extravagant to be powerful, it just needs to be honest.”
The track follows August’s acclaimed release ‘Borderline’, which saw support from Fame Magazine, Amazing Radio, ERR Raadio 2, and Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon on Sirius XM.
‘Kiss Me Like You Miss Her’, recorded and mixed with Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party), perfectly highlights the band’s talent for genre fluidity. Adult Leisure expertly mixes rich melodies, shimmering synths, and explosive drums with Neil Scott’s snarling call-and-response vocals and socially aware lyrics.
