I'm almost certain if you picked up Mr. Bruce by the ankles and shook him like an elementary school bully an entire Sephora's worth of eyeliner pens would fall out of his pockets.
I’m so crushed by Chucks’ passing. The Correspondents have been my absolute favorite band for a year almost. And I was so very much looking forward to a new album. Nobody can replicate his style and finesse. The world truly lost a very very talented, established musician .
Mr. Bruce has me under his spell, and I am fully addicted to this electro-swing movement. All I know is that I MUST listen to his music everyday. There is never a lonely night in SOHO!
Dawn McInnis how dare you the joker and I are just fine without him he’ll he has a nice but his laugh is shameful but nonetheless he can’t be me if I’m me
Every time I listen to it I'm like "what the f*ck" but I don't turn it off because I'm also addicted to it. So I just sit there in mesmerized confusion and incredulity for the duration of the song, lol.

However, when questioned further, these individuals replied, "What man in what trench-coat? I never saw him or his buzzing briefcase."

I think my favorite part about the Correspondents is I'd be thrilled just to watch Mr. Bruce do his grocery shopping so the fact they put so much effort into their videos makes it truly a wonderful experience. Oh and the music is pretty good, too.

So far, if you’re actually curious, I learned that it was a British district that was full of art and performance but it has been being taken over by businesses and apartments
Soho was a british district with a major LGBT and minority population, and a lot of artists. It eventually fell victim to gentrification push those communities out to sell expensive homes. Its what the songs about, soho's gone cause everyone's left cause of gentrification
I was just working on writing 15 pages on a tutorial because I had a working streak, but then TH-cam gave me this song. I was caught off my guard, dancing while sitting and watched the glorious video. I just LOVE the vibe of these videos and the music and the videos. Everything about this is absolutely perfect. Thank you for this! This is how musical art should be! (My tutorial can wait until I listened to all of your music!)
He was known as DJ Mobley, and then went on to becoming a hacker who, along with his friends brought down the biggest conglomerate of 21st century, Evil Corp, and started the Economic Revolt, in New York.
Gods, I just love Mr. Bruce's voice and the way he moves. Between the editing and his own expressive motions make every video of theirs a delight to watch.
The Soho district has always been a bubbling centre of art and music. The council has been replacing the music, art and performance venues with shops and apartments, including most recently a bid to shut down the Soho Theatre, one of the best in the UK. Stephen Fry and other British celebrities are trying to save it. TL;DR: Turning art into Starbucks.
Belle Maija Harrison Thank you very much for your explanation! It's a shame this is happening all around the worls. I live in Berlin and it's the same here...
Y'all talking about primordial chaos gods and criminals but honestly the style to me just feels like the impression you get from the modern, metropolitan man. Like you're a 14th century reclusive lumberjack and you run into this man who comes from a long line of dentists, lawyers and door-to-door soap salesmen.
The video and song litterally are a gift from the gods! I litterally am in awe that they just went and created this absolutely masterpiece and didnt sacrifice seventeen souls to get the talent to create this. My favourite music creators!
I'm all types of gay for this man. Almost creepy smile and laugh gay, love the insanity gay, normal gay, gay to the gayest gay degree, even gay of the gay gay.
quando você para pra entender, que essa música fala de gentrificação é uma doidera. Peguei a ideia depois de pesquisar o que é era "Soho" e "Tesco", com isso liguei os pontos. Simplesmente incrível
This man could play both the Riddler and the Joker in the same movie without even changing outfits and I would believe both performances.
Legit
Was about to type the exact same thing!
This guy could play Lovecraft himself. ^^
Lovecraft would not approve, of course.
@@Switcher1972 Yeah but fuck Lovecraft xD
Well not joker. Joker is more cynical and more twisted and unstable
I'm convinced that this man is some sort of primordial chaos god.
I refuse to believe anything else now
I would make sense
You don't need to get convinced you need to know
ITS TZEENCH
This is Tzeench on the weekend
I'm almost certain if you picked up Mr. Bruce by the ankles and shook him like an elementary school bully an entire Sephora's worth of eyeliner pens would fall out of his pockets.
This is so well written and funny XD
I imagine it would be a literally endless supply but be careful, if he starts dancing you'll soon be holding nothing but a shoe!

Plain white room
Face close ups
Weird outfits
Lanky British guy with glasses
Lots of editing
wide angle lens
yep thats a The Correspondents video
literally any music video ever
Don't forget Fear and Delight
And dancing. Lots of spider-like dancing.

Any of the hammy ones
Yep

@@elcatrinc1996 his names Ian? What
first thing I thought when I saw him was "Riddler" then he started to sing and now I am sure this is 100% real Edward Nygma.
Just you wait until you get to the part of the video where he's dancing around in a jester's outfit during this video.
Medic from tf2
We've found the perfect person to play the next Batman villain.
I was think Cecil Palmer
if we ever figure out how to transfer minds into other bodies, clones of Mr Bruce will be more valuable than gold.
havent you seen fear and delight? Thats is the end result of our prayers
@@monamourdufromage5278 Didn't he have cancer at one point so had chemotherapy and became bald because of it? I believed he fully recovered too.
@@jimmyfiddlesticks337 Where did you get this info, if you don't mind me asking?
@@hntrsmoon In the music video for 'Fear and Delight' he is completely bald (side effect of chemotherapy) so I Googled it.

This guy may be a better Riddler, but he'd still make a better Joker than Jared Leto.
Dawn McInnis how dare you the joker and I are just fine without him he’ll he has a nice but his laugh is shameful but nonetheless he can’t be me if I’m me
He would too

Its what the songs about, soho's gone cause everyone's left cause of gentrification
I could watch Mr Bruce dance all day long! :)
Fruitloops and he would never even get tired. I think he might be a robot.
can this guy be the riddler
better as the joker
2:27 in makup
Ikr
yes lol
Omg yesss I want to see this so badd
RIP Chucks and thank you for all these bouncy beats
Pure poetry!
"Where do I go for the family
Of outspoken, brazen dandies and queens,
Bearded, witty, bitter men

Why have I JUST NOW learned of this awesome band?!
There's something immensely attractive about this man and I'm not comfortable with it
I... I think Im gay now
Embrace that feel
Everyone ask What's Happened To Soho.
No one ask How's Soho.
Awful actually, what with all the gentrification.

Rest In Power Chucks, man this is so sad x
You were all wrong, it's not a hot, yellow haired teenager, THIS is the human form of Bill Cipher.
main vocalist has such nice eye makeup!!
where do you even get these outfits
In Soho, of course!
Why the black market of course...
I thought soho was imaginary
eh black market?
He stole them from dc villians
That Beat from 2:40 onward, holy damn.. ! I'd love to have a longer version of this beat, it's so friggn good!
Everybody is talking about Charlie Sheen in 2:03, meanwhile I keep seeing Brad Pitt at 1:12
Holy shit
Mr. Bruce looks like an amalgamation of nerdcore rapper Schaffer the Darklord and Grant O'Brian from Dropout in this video.
Yo! Fancy seeing you here. I'd personally add Luke Millington-Drake to the conglomerate as well.
2:25 for some reason, i find the way that silohuette creates a line, very sensual
Dear correspondents; i love u.
Everyone's talking about Effeminate Flapper Man, but I wanna know more about Chubby Hoodie DJ
He reminds me of Burnie Burns
He was known as DJ Mobley, and then went on to becoming a hacker who, along with his friends brought down the biggest conglomerate of 21st century, Evil Corp, and started the Economic Revolt, in New York.
rohan mehra bruh he's just the dj for the band whilst bruce does the singing 😂
saaame
I'm pretty sure his name is Chucks? Or Mr. Chucks, idk
Hes the kinda villian that I would fall in love with instantly.
I'm sorry to hear your loss of DJ Chucks :(
hes so pretty!!!
pretty ugly
omg rude
+blurthewolf I find him rather handsome as well.
I don't see it but I was just playing around he is not the best but he is alright

Looks are always in the eyes of the beholder :)
Holy crap, just found these guys yesterday. How could I not have heard of them until now
0:44 he looks like he seeds to be petting a cat in that scene like an evil villain
Why Did I Decide The Middle Of The Night When I Need To Sleep Was A Good Time To Binge Watch The Correspondents?
Any time is a good time for the correspondents.
I don't know which I find more spectacular, the fashion or the style of dance. My mind is rather blown by both in equal measure.
His outfits are like if you fused Cecil’s canon wardrobe with his fan art wardrobe from Welcome to Night Vale
Oh shit you're right. Tbh this man does give off h u g e Cecil vibes
Gods, I just love Mr. Bruce's voice and the way he moves. Between the editing and his own expressive motions make every video of theirs a delight to watch.
0:48 damnit, he got us
3:29 to the end has fantastic visuals from the dancing and editing.
I'm not English and I've never been to London. So could someone please explain me what's happened to Soho? (serious question).
The Soho district has always been a bubbling centre of art and music.

Steven Turner Thanks ^.^
What a beautiful song to drink with singing
I can watch Mr Bruce dance for days on end. It's mesmorizing.
I'm French, and my cousin who live in England made me discover your songs ... you're just great !!! And all of my friends will agree !!
he seems like a history teacher... the music is innovative though, i like it
What fucking history teacher do you have???
_And why the fuck do I actually agree with you wholeheartedly?!?!?!?!_
日本より愛を込めて
とても素敵な音楽ですね
Am I the only one who thinks this guy would be an amaizing Joker in any Batman movie ??
István Palásty I'd have said he was more like the riddler.
+Danny Scott I'd agree the riddler.
+István Palásty Definitely the riddler...bit too stylish to be the Joker. Not quite got the insanity dialled in.
I see what you mean guys. But that SMILE is wicked, you can't just overlook that.
+István Palásty I agree, the smile is totally Joker, but the overall aesthetic is exactly how I'd want to see The Riddler portrayed :)
This is why I love mr Bruce and the correspondents so much.
Saw these guys perform to an underwhelmed croud at We Are Your Friends. I nearly shat my pants I couldn't believe what i was witnessing. Amazing!
Y'all talking about primordial chaos gods and criminals but honestly the style to me just feels like the impression you get from the modern, metropolitan man. Like you're a 14th century reclusive lumberjack and you run into this man who comes from a long line of dentists, lawyers and door-to-door soap salesmen.
I need a gif of that guy dancing in the clown suit
The video and song litterally are a gift from the gods! I litterally am in awe that they just went and created this absolutely masterpiece and didnt sacrifice seventeen souls to get the talent to create this.

"What's happened to Soho?"
Well, knowing that Mr. Hyde lives there, anything is possible
That outfit with the tassels is exquisite!
This should have more views, it’s such an underrated song
Saw these guys at Larmer Tree and then again at Womad. Such amazing energy on stage, and in the crowd (literaly at one point) Just Brilliant.
This man is a chaotic GOD that is unstoppable.
Why am I suddenly listening to this artist??? They are AMAZING. Wish I found them sooner!
Oh my Gooooddddd. 9 years ago??? Whuuut!?
Who is here from 2020?😂🔥

The Correspondents are the Talking Heads of this generation. Change my mind
Loving that breakdown. Snazzy visuals also.
These fancy fellows are the proverbial nuts.

This dude could play jack skeleton in a live action nightmare before Christmas
This stuff has to be among my all time favorite random finds, in terms of Spotify recommendations
Anyone else amused that after spending the beginning sequence getting well dressed only for Bruce swap out his outfit a minute later.
3:06 I just realised the tassels at the end of his sleeves aren’t tea bags. Oh.
am i the only one who thinks he looks like the medic from team fortress?
jordi same he does look like medic
For me he looks more like a new generation of Doctor from Doctor Who
Wow, you're right, he is a dead ringer for medic. Ah!? See what I did there? lol
he looks like bill nye
No this guy is clearly Final Fantasy 6 Kefka or the Elder Scrolls Sheogorath.
