DESCRIPTION:
Released back in 2005, 'What I Want' was the second single from The D4's second album 'Out Of My Head' and was unfortunately their last.

Late 90s Flying Nun act The D4 are at their best with this meditation on indecision in the face of endless possibilities from their second and final album. Director Wade Shotter's one take video was made after one and a half days of rehearsals, and bravely shot on 35mm film (with the 10th take as the keeper). In a feat of engineering, logistics and timing, all of the action, cheerleaders, carnival strongmen, sets and backdrops all happened on stage (at Takapuna's Bruce Mason Centre) and was captured in the camera with nothing added in post.

The D4 were signed to Flying Nun in 1999, a year after making their mark as a pulsating live act playing at the now legendary Frisbee Leisure Lounge parties. Led by Jimmy Christmas (now front man for Luger Boa), the Auckland garage punk rockers began making waves overseas when they scored a slot at the famed SXSW Music Festival in Texas in 2002. NME raved about their debut album 6Twenty saying "Primordial and fun, it is one of the great, grubby milestones of the current garage renaissance". Sadly though the band announced that they were taking time out in 2006, having released just two albums.
