Synopsis

New Young Pony Club's "Ice Cream" is a surreal, candy-coated performance video rather than a conventional narrative. Tahita Bulmer and the band appear amid brightly colored, playful imagery, while the camera lingers on close-ups of sticky sweets, jellybeans, licorice, candy teeth and other confectionery textures. The deliberately glossy visuals match the song's flirtatious lyrics and electro-disco pulse, creating a mischievous fantasy world where pop glamour, sugary excess and sensuality melt together.
