Synopsis

Suzi Analogue's "THE THING" turns a ride through Amsterdam's metro system into a shifting abstract portrait. Reflections in the train windows layer passengers, lights, tunnels, platforms, and passing architecture into fragmented patterns that move with the rhythm. Rather than presenting a conventional performance or narrative, the video uses the city in motion as its visual material, creating a hypnotic, transient counterpart to Analogue's self-produced electronic track.

Factoids & Trivia

• The track was self-produced by Suzi Analogue and appeared on the NNXT release alongside "The Program," produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow.

• The video's visual approach mirrors the track's beat-oriented identity: repetition, motion, and fragmented images replace a conventional storyline or staged performance.

• Never Normal Records later reissued the original "THE THING" recording on the 2017 NNXT release, preserving it as an early document of Analogue's production work.
