Synopsis
The video unfolds as a loose, surreal animated performance rather than a conventional narrative. Cartoon versions of the musicians play keyboards, guitar, and microphone beside oversized speakers, while bold black-and-white forms move against geometric backgrounds. The band setup gradually gives way to stranger imagery, including a large rounded creature or mound surrounded by small flowers. The simple, hand-drawn figures, deadpan expressions, and sudden visual shifts create a playful dreamworld that mirrors the track's electronic pop atmosphere.
