‘ACID BOOTS video’
A music video about a man’s descent into insanity on the streets of East London.
‘Acid Boots’ is shot in a short film style and begins with our man receiving a phone call and hearing a hypnotic voice (featured on the track) down the line. His eyes quickly become demonic, his feet start to move and, as the track begins, he starts to dance compulsively through the streets. The film follows his struggle to regain control of his sanity with a surprise twist in the finale questioning whether anyone can resist the power of ‘Acid Boots.’
