The Smile – Thin Thing (Official Video)

“Hearing the song for the first time, we imagined a frenetic fluid that carries machines, pieces of human bodies and carnivorous plants. When presenting the idea to the band, Thom [Yorke] told us about a dream that made him write the song. We believe the video is the conjunction of these two things” 
– Cristóbal Leon and Joaquín Cociña
