Synopsis
Roosevelt and his bandmates turn "Montreal" into a relaxed, performance-driven snapshot of a young electronic pop group finding its groove. The video moves through colorful, retro-styled setups, balancing casual group energy with close-up shots of the musicians and their instruments. Rather than building a traditional narrative, it focuses on personality, movement, and the chemistry between friends playing together. Its warm, slightly lo-fi presentation matches the song's hazy synths, soft vocals, and summery sense of momentum.
