Warning: the latest video from South London group Little Cub features a load of Nike shoes getting cut up, so shoe fetishists - look away now, or else feel the salted taste of a singular tear rolling lonesomely down your cheek. Yet for a video that features a bunch of dismembered footwear, there's also an incredibly poetic moment going on; one that feels so intangible it can't be reached, yet so close that it's also burning inside you, stirring up a pot of memories you thought you'd forgotten about."Intent's about growing up and the nonsense nature of desire", Little Cub's Alexander Gore told Noisey over email. "It's about being more of an arsehole than you thought you were, and being kind of okay with that. It's about waiting for a train to Godalming to visit a girl you know you're only going to hurt. A kind of Burger King bildungsroman". Which, in all honesty, makes it seem like this song has been transported directly from the raw, fleshy wounds of a previous experience and right into your ears. How wonderful!Watch the video, directed by Graeme Arnfield and Sasha Litvintseva below:
