Modern fencing is a gentleman’s sport, and its practitioners are meant to strive for ideals of grace and balance. Which is to say, it would be sort of frowned upon for a fencer to use his or her weapon to embark upon a brutal killing spree.
In the Shoes’ new video for “Time To Dance,” a psychotic killing machine (played by dreamy heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal) mercilessly stalks through London clubs and parties leaving a trail of gore behind him for no apparent reason. This uplifting tale of goodwill and redemption was directed by Daniel Wolfe, and is set to the Shoes’ keyed-up, white horse electro.
