Los Angeles – alt-J have released a new video for their track “Deadcrush” off of their new album RELAXER.
The video, premiering today via WeTransfer, was directed by visual artist Young Replicant and choreographed by Darcy Wallace.
“We are *very* proud to present the video for our new single Deadcrush, a collaboration between choreographer Darcy Wallace and director/dream weaver Young Replicant.
Lee Miller, Anne Boleyn and Sylvia Plath – our three deadcrushes – are conjured up by a supercomputer in a post-apocalyptic world. ENJOY.” - alt-J
