The new video for current single ‘Hunter’ was also recently revealed. Directed by Du Blonde, it was entirely shot in LA: “The footage was shot on Super 8 by Kelsey McNamee. We wanted to try and get footage like the old home movies our families had when we were younger. So often footage like this is forsaken for videos shot on phones and the quality of those old memories is lost. We wanted to have something to show our kids.”.
