John Cook Lynch directs an inspired dance film for Belfast post-rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar. Exploring the two distinct sides of the band, the video for North Coast Megafauna juxtaposes the controlled urban sensibility of the city and the raw, passionate chaos of Northern Ireland's North Coast, as a female dancer and a primordial 'Grassquatch' perform an endless feverish dance.It's entrancing, with a fluidity that is as hypnotic as it is eccentric. The naturalistic, Cook Lynch's raw cinematography also adds a certain intimacy to the visual, which brings viewers right into the action - with Sarah Flavelle performing both dance roles with aplomb.
