Today, we have the pleasure of unveiling a music video for the album’s closing track, ‘Worried’. Directed by Travis Barron (Unlimited Time Only) with story by Benjamin Johnson and designed by frontwoman Sarah Kue, the whole thing is dream-like and strange, favoring strong imagery over linear narrative. Opening with the tidal lap of waves, the video finds a woman walking into the ocean at dawn, before moving to follow a gas mask-clad figure wandering dark halls. Thick curls of dry ice fill the scene, illuminated with projections of disembodied heads, unmooring the film from the shackles of realism and linearity. Indeed, as it advances, it becomes clear that the narrative is not advancing in a simple chronology at all, and that the fractured timeline may in fact be cyclical.

It’s the perfect accompaniment to the track, which opens in rich synths, before unwinding into a patient but wide-scope pop song, the dreamy vocals and throwback synth supported with an insistent beat and the background snarl of guitar. Like a lot of the songs on Future Nostalgic, it feels at once strange and familiar, a dream-like vision of a digitally-modulated past, the warm and organic romanticism juxtaposed with the cold and cruel logic of electronics, that binary streams of 1s and 0s. Check out the video below:
