See premiere on Noisey / Vice here."Follow" is taken from the critically acclaimed album "Fake Virtue" and is produced by Monokino and Jacco Gardner.
It is the second music video Erik Alkema made for Monokino. Their first collaboration, the video to "New Kid" (from the bands debut album "Human Error") was nominated best Dutch music video
on Dutch Film Festival 2011 and became video of the week on booooooom.com and stereogum
The video is filmed on various locations on airport Twente, an abandoned army airfield in the east of the Netherlands. We follow a giant brown piece of something, running around
and carrying a suitcase, who is chased by two trigger-happy inspectors in a car. The video also features a temptress aircraft marshaller and of course, a self playing guitar.
All the featured puppet characters are designed by Erik Alkema.

Monokino
Monokino (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) weaves ear-piercing synthesizers, angry guitar-riffs and pounding drums with a highly-exceptional voice to produce futuristic sounding, awe-inspiring pop.
The band has toured extensively across China, the Netherlands, Canada and the USA and worked with producer Tony Visconti and singer Kristeen Young.
Monokino recently finished a successful tour through China with highlights including two shows at the Strawberry Festival in Beijing and Shanghai.
