“For the video, Funston combined neon images with lots of blacklight paint, creating the perfect contrast of bright color against darkness.

This video is your weirdest synth-pop dream.”

“Inspired by Iska Dhaaf’s love for writing, “Invisible Cities” contains a vocal sample of My Struggle: Book One, read by author Karl Ove Knausgård. The excerpt immediately sets the song’s unsettling mood, as the track hastily drives rhythmic force to the listener. A sense of both urgency and paranoia plague the single, as Nathan Quiroga hauntingly sings his narrative over the song’s blurry bassline and freakish melody.”
