STRANGE is the first released track from the new album by industrial rock artist Leigh de Vries. Reflecting the song's futuristic/noir and trance-like tribal qualities, the music promo travels between a rich mix of locations, costumes and make up—where Leigh plays multiple characters in a tale of love, death and resurrection. Tal's added level of meta-narrative, which manifests in a tailor-made grammatical language within the editing and the After Effect work, aims to create a 'state of mind', not in only 'what' you see but also in 'how' you see it.
