Osborn's editing rhythm matches the band's gauzy tempo with unusual precision — the psychotronic layering never tips into chaos because he keeps the human faces anchored at the center. A small, disciplined piece of outsider-adjacent craft.
Florals, soft focus, dreamy shoegaze — this is a Nowness submission, not a film. Competently photographed wallpaper.
Chris Osborn directing shoegaze-with-psychotropic-visuals — Osborn's work on D E E P shows real curatorial taste, and pairing it with Joyful Noise dream pop in the Broadcast/Focus Group visual tradition sounds like a coherent vibe.
