Earlier this year, The Knocks released a infectious remix of Party Supplies’ “Going Back to New York,” which originally appeared on Party Supplies’ debut album, Tough Love.

Before shooting the video, Justin and I decided right away that we wanted to show parts of NYC that were relatively obscure and part of an Old New York that’s been around for decades,” Cordero said. “We both grew up around places like the dystopian Willets Point, the classic 24 hour Cherry Valley Deli in Whitestone and the historical Fort Totten in Queens so those locations felt more personal to us.
