WATCH: Forest Swords – Thor’s Stone

New video for track from Engravings

Earlier this year, Forest Swords, aka Liverpudlian producer Matthew Barnes, released his debut LP Engravings, a subtle, spectral collection of bassy electronic tracks, and he’s now put out the Dave Ma-directed video for LP cut ‘Thor’s Stone’, shot in downtown Los Angeles in the dead of night – have a watch above [via Nowness].

Says Ma of the video: “There was a moment around 3 am when I felt a pure sense of all the elements coming together perfectly. I made [Guzman Rosado, star of the video] dance repeatedly for about eight hours through the night. There was no one for miles around, just Forest Swords echoing out of a boom box.”
