Synopsis

Becki is drawn toward fame by the sinister, almost supernatural force of pop music. Presented as a darkly comic narrative rather than a performance clip, "All Ways Closer" follows her movement toward an imagined breakthrough, where ambition and celebrity take on the qualities of an occult ritual. The video treats the pursuit of pop stardom as both seductive and unsettling, matching Clipd Beaks' psychedelic, noise-heavy sound with an offbeat story about the price of becoming famous.
