Synopsis

Set in Bolivia, the video follows a troubled alcoholic whose fate becomes entangled with a wedding party, a gang, and a group of construction workers. As the story unfolds, an ominous ritual takes shape at a building site: a person is selected to be buried beneath the foundations as a sacrifice intended to protect the structure and bring good fortune. The stark, unsettling narrative turns the song's uneasy atmosphere into a grim folk-horror tale, ending on an image of human life being used as the hidden foundation of something larger.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed entirely in Bolivia and draws on a local urban legend about burying a person alive beneath a new building to give the structure strength or a protective spirit.
  • The story reportedly came from a superstition encountered soon after arriving in Bolivia. The idea changed how the filmmaker viewed the country's growing high-rises, imagining them as tombstones for the people sacrificed beneath them.
  • Seekae chose the concept because it was the most abstract interpretation presented to them. The band said they deliberately avoided a polished, literal, or obviously commercial treatment.
  • The group described "Another" as a dark anti-love song about self-interest, the idealization of being in love, and the cyclical nature of relationships. They also saw the video's burial mythology as a possible metaphor for romance.
  • Local performers make up the cast, including Winner Zeballos as the alcoholic and Mariela Salaverry as the bride. The gang and construction workers were also played by Bolivian cast members.
  • The production was handled by COLOR_MONSTER and Studio MURMUR, with cinematography by Doug Walshe, editing by Gaia Borretti, and color grading by Luke Morrison at The Mill.
  • Released in September 2013, the clip accompanied the introduction of Seekae's third album, "The Worry," and helped establish the darker visual world surrounding the record.
