South London brothers Formation have shared new single "Young Ones", along with an accompanying video that nearly matches the frenetic pace of the track.
Directed by Hans Lo and featuring original artwork by the boys themselves, the video for "Young Ones" changes with each beat of the drum as rapidly and rapturously as the song itself. As the pop-up lyrics vanish out of the frame, white on a black background, we hear the mission statement: "live once, die young, move on". Embracing erasure, like so much chalk on the board.
Listen below.
Formation will be taking over London's NTS Radio at 12am 18 December.
