Artist Simon Stålenhag, whose paintings inspired the Amazon series “Tales from the Loop”, makes his directorial debut with this music video for songwriter/producer (and fellow Swede) Duvchi – with Stockholm’s Goodbye Kansas handling VFX.

Goodbye Kansas says they worked closely with Stålenhag to craft and animate the CG head and hands of the main character plus the underwater scenes featuring a variety of ominous and extinct creatures.
