Synopsis
Rebecca and Fiona move through a dark, dreamlike night populated by enigmatic figures and unsettling encounters. The duo appear amid deserted industrial surroundings while two young men, concealed behind eerie old-man masks, bring an ominous, surreal presence to the story. Rather than presenting a straightforward club performance, the video builds a tense atmosphere through shadowy imagery, nocturnal driving and strange ritual-like moments. Its slow, moody visual style turns the song's invitation to "dance" into something mysterious and slightly threatening.
