The video itself is no less cinematic, having been gorgeously filmed in Iceland and featuring high floating landscape shots that are peppered with grainy (stretched) super 8mm film shots and bit of handheld shaky cam moments. The photography is pristine, and like the music goes from feeling grounded on earth to soaring high above our heads.

The British magazine NME [44] qualified it as: "a cinematic new video and a dreamy blast of post-rock all about 'the acceptance of things we don't know and can't control'".
