The video was shot in the Aragats mountains in Armenia, during the band's 'Siberian Traps' tour in the summer of 2019, which brought them to Russia, Kazahstan, Armenia, Georgia and Japan. "We found this place by accident: the dilapidated ruins of a soviet observatory & research station for cosmic radiation," comments guitarist and founding member Robin Staps. "The building itself looked like a spaceship that had crash-landed up high in the mountains, but there were lots of interesting structures scattered across the landscape: concrete cubes, underground tunnels, rusted machinery, fallen power poles and watchtowers. It all looked like taken straight out of Andrej Tarkovsky's 'Stalker' movie," concludes Staps, referring to the ingenious classic that was also the backbone of The Ocean's 2013 album Pelagial.

It's nice, but definitely a very unorthodox choice for a single lol

It's nice but not so interesting. It's almost remains the same for 4 minutes.
