North Carolina-based trio Setting has shared the blissful, visually stunning video for their track "What Kind of Fish is a Turtle," taken from their recently released self-titled album Setting, and directed by award-winning surfing filmmaker/photographer Morgan Maassen. The track's floating drone offers a minimalist respite on the album, with Maassen's video mirroring the slow-motion synth waves with oceanic crests, light and darkness playing together beneath surfers in striking detail.
On the video, Setting elaborates:
"Morgan Maassen’s immersive, buoyant video for “What Kind of Fish is a Turtle” seems so intertwined with the music’s pitch, yaw, and roll that you’d be forgiven for thinking that the two were created as a piece to complement and augment one another, but this specific collaboration came to fruition well after the music was recorded. The inky half-light and glassy shimmer of his footage seems to both birth the music and bloom from within it, a breathtaking effect that leaves the viewer/listener wondering which way is up. We are so, so chuffed to share this slice of kismet audio-visual symbiosis with y’all."
