If you missed our premiere of our music video for our song Love & Confusion, here it is in all its retro golden glory.
We had a completely different concept for this video which was NOT working and will be regulated to the dust bin. Hahaha don’t you wish you knew. You’ll never know!
This was acted, directed and filmed by MAKAR (well, obviously it was filmed by Mark P.)
DIY, baby.
