“This video is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to my dreams or imagination; it’s the closest I’ve got to translating vagueness into a viewable form.” – Stephen Wilkinson

“To me the video for ‘Dye The Water Green’ held a certain identifiable quality linked with a sense of possibility and exploration – when there is a new place to go, another bend around the corner to uncover, or a different vista coming into view.” – Michael Robinson

Video from ‘The Green E.P.’ out next week, with an interview from the artists via Warp.net
