Elephant & Castle – “En Memoria” Music Video (ft. tUnE-yArDs) + “I Will” Live Video

tUnE-yArDs’ Merrill Garbus lends her voice to Elephant & Castle in this laid-back jazzy tune, which flies through prismatic landscapes feathered by bursts of light. In this highly digital rendering, balls of red and purple tones expand like nuclei in space, walking the line between hoakily animated and just artistically removed enough from our current plane of existence.
