Synopsis
"Molly" is a short, surreal visual piece rather than a conventional character-driven narrative. Its imagery works as an experimental companion to oMMM's fractured electronic track, favoring mood, texture, and odd visual associations over a clearly defined storyline. The video reflects the music's homemade, off-kilter character, creating an unsettling but playful atmosphere in which the images feel loosely connected to the track's clipped rhythms and deliberately imperfect sound world.
