exmagician share visuals for "Bend With The Wind"

28 July 2016, 10:00 | Written by The Line of Best Fit

Belfast based duo exmagician have collaborated with Eat The Danger, the animation studio responsible for creating videos for Wolf Alice and Courtney Barnett, on their new clip for album track "Bend With The Wind".

The pair share the video ahead of a small run of live dates that take in London's Old Blue Last this Saturday (July 30) and Standon Calling Festival on Sunday (July 31).

The directors comment on the collaboration: "We approached the music video for "Bend With The Wind" with the intention of casting a darkly comical shadow over the song through use of our disconcerting visual style. This offbeat imagery is underpinned with a loose narrative, comprised largely of an extended tracking shot of various vignettes unfolding on each floor of an impossibly tall building. These situations become increasingly surreal as we scale to the roof, until the animation descends into abstract disorder, matching the rhythm and structure of the song."

Watch the clip below. exmagician's debut album Scan The Blue is out now on Bella Union.
