Mike James questions the idea of a higher power in his thought-provoking video for Manhattan Murder Mystery. The visual for Bodybag follows a religious group who congregate in a small, nondescript complex, and follow frontman Matthew Teardrop through a series of unusual vignettes. The underlying message of the visual questions the cult-like aspects of some religious sects, and where our place in the world lies within these hierarchies, and is visualised with a vintage-styled, rough and ready aesthetic.
