How Can We Fix This?
How Can We Fix This?

With ‘Alive’, we wanted to do something closer to a short film and felt the urge to create something a bit darker than our previous videos…” the band told us.

Mission accomplished. The video follows a psychopathic man who beats, stabs, and chokes his unsuspecting victims while traversing the countryside in an RV. If that doesn’t sound like your idea of fun, don’t worry; there are aerobics and disco parties involved for anyone who comes along.

We had a listen:

This begins like a gentle storm.

The rhythms gradually grow before they embrace every facet of the kindest of melodies…

This has an attractive smooth jazzy feel filled with lots of fluorescent colours and some dab-hand, light-touch vocals.
