Sipho. — Beady Eyes
African modern art and retofuturistic themes set the scene for the emotional shifts between hyper masculinity and deep vulnerabilities that can be present in a mentally testing relationship.
These emotions are emphasised with contrasting themes and palettes which play out intimately alongside moving still life sculptures, floral setups and all out destruction.

Foals — Cafe D’Athens
Cafe D’Athens is a standout piece of music from the album ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1’, by British indie band, Foals.
The track is opened and led by a distinctive xylophone loop which sets the pace for a slightly erratic, surreal and somewhat hallucinogenic edit using a mixture of found footage, botanical meltdowns and super 8 footage the band shot on tour and in the studio.
