More Giraffes & Sweater Beats – Playground
Los Angeles-based duo More Giraffes (aka Mark Hadley and Keeley Bumford) team up with Sweater Beats in the Zac Wolf-directed video for ‘Playground’.
In the video, the crew embrace their inner kids and turn a futuristic pop party into one heck of a playground.
The track is taken from their upcoming EP, ‘Bermuda’ – a signature mix-n-match of synths, chill pop tracks, and infectiously catchy and weird vocals.
