River Tiber makes everything he touches a little silkier, including a whole lot of songs that you've loved over the past few years. That aura extends to his music videos, as proven in the visual marvel that is his clip for "Acid Test" off last year's underrated Indigo album. Co-directed by Tommy Paxton-Beesley himself and Grandson & Son, the video was shot on location throughout Morocco. It follows Paxton-Beesley as he wanders and lounges pensively around gorgeous city streets and swimming pools. He also sings amidst CGI meshes because we're in the future, dammit."We wanted the editing and visual style to stray away from the conservative paradigm and we were able to film candid performances with ambiguous narrative while utilizing the serendipity of the locations themselves," says Grandson & Son. "When Tommy returned home we did some full body studio 3D scans and inserted those in the edit as well. All in all, it was an amazing experience and I was so stoked to collaborate with Tommy."
