Self-described flamboyant pop band Niki & The Dove have released their video for their latest single, ‘The Fox.’ Matching the group’s idiosyncratic sound, the music video takes people on a wild visual trip that anyone with eyes will surely enjoy.
The treatment for the Niki & The Dove video features an animated female with a fox head who journeys through a psychedelic landscape littered with indigenous motifs. As the footage progresses, the protagonist’s head morphs into abstract forms, such as a whisker-clad opera mask or a Mayan-like statue head. The craniums continue to change until finally reverting back to its original fox form.
‘The Fox’ was made by WINTR, which is a creative production team based in Seattle. One thing’s for sure, your eyes and ears won’t be bored while watching this imaginative video.
