Described as “sublime” by French site Allociné, the video won five awards including ‘Best Music Video’ at the Hollywood Art and Movie Awards, USA, as well as being nominated for the Kinsale Shark Awards, British Animation Awards and long listed for the 1.4 Awards. Extracts were played on BBC’s Newsnight and The One Show and the video featured on the Guardian online and VICE news.
