In Porter Studio in Brooklyn with additional recordings in the upstate New York, the video was put together with additional appearances by the band, which performed reality – and irregular, fragmented images that reflect intrusive thoughts. “We wanted to bow to an aesthetic aesthetic of the 90s of the 90s and have the topics of the song guided the processing,” says Bass. “The video quickly turns the first choir into an implied destabilized mental state.
