Synopsis

A highly abstract visual piece unfolds as layers of color, texture, and fragmented imagery pulse and dissolve in time with the song. Shapes appear to crystallize, freeze, melt, and slide across the frame, creating the impression of images caught between photography, painting, and digital manipulation. Rather than presenting a conventional storyline or featuring the performers, the video turns the track's romantic unease into a hypnotic audiovisual environment. Its shifting forms repeatedly obscure and reveal one another, suggesting memory, emotional distance, and fleeting connection.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video is presented as an abstract work rather than a narrative performance clip. Its imagery was widely noted for its intense color palette and constantly changing textures.

• Additional source photography was supplied by Toyin Timeyin, whose still images were incorporated into the moving visual composition.

• The official video uses a shortened version of "In The Middle (I Met You There)" rather than the complete track.

• "In The Middle (I Met You There)" appeared on Matthew Dear's four-track Headcage EP, released by Ghostly International on January 17, 2012.

• The song pairs Dear's electronic production with guest vocals from Jonny Pierce of The Drums, making it one of the EP's clearest collaborations between electronic music and indie pop.
