Produced by Randall Dunn, known for his work with acclaimed folk artists like Marissa Nadler, the track features expressive percussion by Matt Chamberlain, creating an ancient mood.

About the song, Clementine and Valentine share, “To us, it means different things at different times, so we'd rather not spoil the mystery by over-explaining. We're proud of this song, it feels like our ancestors are speaking through us - which was an overarching theme and intention for this album.”



The accompanying visuals, directed by the Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland-based duo PICTVRE (Veronica Crockford-Pound and Joseph Griffen), draw inspiration from 1960's films such as Jean-Luc Godard's sci-fi/noir classic Alphaville and Ingmar Bergman's psychological drama Persona. Styled by Tom So, the duo wears all local designers including Emma Jing, Wynn Hamlyn, and Shannen Young. Makeup and hair styling by Kiekie Stanners and Vanessa Mitchell.
