A video for the song “Flash Delirium” debuted this month giving fans a glimpse into the band’s interpretation of the confusing state of the world in modern times.  Directed by Andreas Nilsson (Fever Ray, Goldfrapp) the video features a surrealistic homecoming that goes awry in tempest of destruction and confusion.
