The music video for this track was directed by David Byrne and Sandy McLeod, a filmmaker who worked on Talking Heads' 1984 concert movie Stop Making Sense. In the video, the band is joined by the musicians who played on the track, including Johnny Marr and Kirsty MacColl. As they perform in a studio setting, they are overlayed with design typography enhancing the visuals with various statements, factoids and words from the lyrics.

Echo of the Low Light is a PNW collective experimenting with an aleatoric (characterized by chance) approach to creating music. While the ‘skeleton’ of each song is written, large parts of the composition are left open to chance, each collaborator bringing their own style and feel—unaware of what the others have done. The only instruction given is to keep with the emotional integrity of the song.: www.echoofthelowlight.com
