2014 isn’t over for Helado Negro just yet. We’re happy to premiere his brand new music video for his song “That Shit Makes Me Sad,” the closing track of his wonderful fourth album Double Youth. Venezuelan artist Valentina Alvarado directed the video, which is a very simple continuous, fixed shot of an ice cream cone being held out a car window while driving through the longest avenue in her hometown, Maracaibo. The ice cream slowly melts under the sun of probably the hottest city in South America, as we get glimpses of how the city is. It was shot with a Handycam, giving us that ’90s vibe and intensifying the brightness of the sun. And no one ate that ice cream in the end. That shit makes me sad.
