We did the video for A Bruised Sunset, a song by the mighty @friendlyrich (CA) and marvelous @cheshmak.mp3 (IR)!
The song is amazing, the album is amazing and they are amazing. We are so excited!
You can watch the video, there is a link in our BIO.
DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO if you think there’s no place in animation for a Colombian child riding a vulture, getting together with a destructive angel.
If you do support Colombian children, angels or vultures DO watch the video.
