Gaining ideology from their last album Disco Volodar, the short film uses the core theme of space. The short film is filmed at Unit 3 Regents Trading Estate, the usual area for Sounds From The Other City.

This quickly melts into a warped reality and lands you into the POV of a camera and trapped in a liminal space where you see a band in session.
