CRYSTAL FIGHTERS - AT HOME

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

Several members of Crystal Fighters separately return to a familiar place after an apparent absence. Their reunions provoke sharply different emotions, ranging from excitement and affection to anger and resignation, suggesting that the group shares an unresolved history. As they gradually come together, the reason for their meeting becomes clear: they are returning to recover a box they buried long ago. The narrative gives the song's homesick and romantic mood a lightly mysterious, folkloric frame, building toward a final gathering around the buried secret.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was released online on February 5, 2011, more than a month before "At Home" became a single on March 14, 2011.
  • "At Home" was the fifth single from Crystal Fighters' debut album, "Star of Love," released in 2010.
  • Adam Etherington handled the cinematography.
  • The narrative was noted for its ensemble structure: the band members arrive separately, with each reunion carrying a different emotional charge before the shared history is revealed.
  • Coverage of the video highlighted its folkloric and magical atmosphere, particularly in the closing section. That visual tone fits the wider "Star of Love" project, which drew heavily on Basque culture, mythology and traditional instruments.
  • The track was one of the band's more gentle and romantic recordings. Laure Stockley provides the lead vocal, while the production combines the band's electronic approach with Basque folk instrumentation.
  • The song received BBC Radio 1 playlist support in early 2011 and was selected as Dev's "Record of the Week" for the week of February 21, 2011.
