Synopsis
Leisure Cruise's "Double Digit Love" unfolds as a surreal, neon-lit dance spectacle staged like an intergalactic showdown. Gold- and silver-clad performers move through a laser-filled techno environment, embodying an apparent clash between day and night. The deliberately awkward choreography, ordinary-looking cast, and heightened sci-fi setting give the video a playful, sensual, dreamlike quality. Its visual language turns the song's futuristic synth-pop into a strange cosmic dance ritual, with the performers competing, posing, and surrendering to the beat.
Factoids & Trivia
- The production began with a different concept: a badly choreographed dance performed by people in gold and silver unitards inside a Salvadoran pop-up church. The band approved the use of nonprofessional performers and intentionally imperfect dancing, but requested a more surreal techno world with lasers.
- Only one performer in the finished video was a professional dancer. The choreography was developed with a friend of the band who had professional dance experience.
- The video was presented as an "intergalactic battle" between day and night, a concept reflected in the gold-and-silver color scheme and the opposing visual groups.
- "Double Digit Love" appeared on Leisure Cruise's self-titled debut album, released by Last Gang Records on May 6, 2014. The track runs for 3 minutes and 34 seconds.
- The song was the duo's second single, following "Sailing." Leisure Cruise consisted of Dave Hodge, associated with Broken Social Scene, and Leah Siegel of Firehorse.
- The video's intentionally human, slightly clumsy movement contrasts with the polished lasers and sci-fi atmosphere, reinforcing the project's stated preference for synth-pop that felt playful, cinematic, and made for dancing.
