Synopsis
Lanterns On The Lake's video for "Until The Colours Run" abandons a conventional storyline for a vivid, abstract animated journey. Shapes, textures and bursts of color shift and collide in time with the song's expansive blend of indie rock, folk and electronics. The imagery moves between beauty and unease, creating a visual counterpart to the track's emotional intensity. Rather than presenting characters or a literal setting, the clip turns the music into a constantly changing, dreamlike world.
