Ora The Molecule has shared the music video for “Beat Beat Beat” today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by the artist, who said this about working on the video:

"I shot and directed this video myself. It was just me and my brother Tirian while he was visiting me in Granada, Spain. He was into alchemy circles and karate at the time, so we made a video where he could be like the heroes he had read about. It was pretty great, we were both making art in a way. I was directing a music video in which he was the embodiment of the adult mind that is really still a child, trying to follow society's ‘duties,’ while still being called back to the land of imagination and nature, with Tirian fighting demons and showing me tricks.

The song is about the danger of pushing with too many questions, while still trying to live within society, and the moment one takes into consideration all that is going on. It is difficult to live a ‘normal’ life. Therefore it is a contradiction. The beast that is sleeping is the higher reason or consciousness within everyone, and if everyone were to live true to this one, we could not keep doing what we do in today's consumer society on planet Earth."

To coincide with the video’s release, Ora The Molecule also released the “Beat Beat Beat” remix EP, which features remixes from New Order founding member Gillian Gilbert, Moon Boots, and OTON. The EP is available on digital services right now.

“Beat Beat Beat” stems from Ora The Molecule’s debut album Human Safari, which is out now on Mute Records.
