On the heels of their debut Affectus EP, DC-based electronic-pop duo NUEX share their gripping new video for “Eyes” today with Soul Bounce. Directed by Abraham Vilchez-Moran, the video tells the story of a young black teen struggling to understand the dysfunctionality of life at home. With his mind, he lets the darkness pass through him in the form of what he believes to be his older self. The choreography is representative of his inner turmoil.

About the video, NUEX comments, “This video was the first we haven’t been in, therefore there was more freedom in how to tell the story. What resulted was truly exhilarating, because I got to see Eyes in a different perspective from which it was written. It took on new life, which is a level of collaboration I’m not used to. What I enjoy the most is the narrative of the older or higher self looking down on you in situations that you feel lost in or that upset you. Eyes is then not just about persons watching persons, but about a greater being or force that is also watching and guiding. It was a cathartic video to watch.”
