On their first music video for their debut single RAGS, the band continues its multicultural approach to music and teams up with the Kyiv-based art trio GORSAD known for their quite provocative visuals who made headlines earlier this year with their New York exhibition Baby, I Like It Raw: Post-Eastern Bloc Photography and Video exhibition alongside some of our favourite photographers including Slava Mogutin.
