Peaking Lights - Breakdown (Official Video)

A little while back, the dubbed-out electronic pop duo announced the release of their new album Cosmic Logic by sharing first single “Breakdown,” a drifting, deadpan, approachable number about leaving the world behind. That song’s brand-new video expands on those themes, telling the story of a lady who lives with a gigantic anthropomorphic smartphone that keeps fucking up her life. Eugene Kotlyarenko directed the video, which works as an obvious extended metaphor about the way technology butts into our lives more and more, and Peaking Lights themselves make a cameo.
