In Adrian Buitenhuis-directed video for Kisses’ dark synth-pop single “Huddle,” the duo turns into a trio when Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson are joined by a little drummer boy named Henry. Aside from the band, it’s not entirely clear why he’s hanging out with two older kids who are about to go to college, but pint-sized Henry seems to be the glue holding together the band in this melodramatic coming-of-age narrative. “But we have one more summer,” he reminds Kivel and Edmundson as the waves recklessly crash in contrast to the somber tune. Kisses’ “Kids in LA” is out now on Cascine.
