Directed by Mathieu le Dude and French producer 20syl, the hypnotic music video for "Kodama" is all hands. Much of the three-minute clip consists of anonymous appendages migrating from one instrument to another, sometimes pausing to casually snap their fingers. There are also some stranger moments interspaced in between, including a speed sketching of an intricate zebra head and an inexplicable bout of knitting. "Kodama" is part of 20syl's catchy new Motifs EP, which can be listened to for free on YouTube.
