The video serves as a sophisticated snapshot of the paranoia and urgency that the Brooklyn band exudes.Speaking of collaborating with Beck in a press release, the band shared: “One of the unexpected gifts that came out of the formation of this band is our friendship with Beck.

He was one of our early champions before we even really knew what we were doing.”They continued: “That early encouragement helped cement us on a path and ease into a greater sense of confidence as we moved the project forward.

It has been such a joy knowing him since our first meeting and an even greater thrill to have been able to work with him on this video and get a closer look at his creative process.
