Alpha Chrome Yayo - Music for an Abandoned Train Station

So there I was, sitting on a train from Gatwick Airport to London Bridge, on my way to see Fontaines DC play the Hammersmith/Eventim Apollo.  It had been a long day, I was on the road from 3:40AM and I was tired.  To try and stay awake, I started videoing the rail tracks as they flew past my window.  Over the course of an hour, I shot about 6 minutes of video.  I'd no idea what I was going to use it for, but that never stopped me doing something before!

Fast forward 2 weeks and Alpha Chrome Yayo released a 20 second piece of music on Twitter he said was a "Broken little imaginary jingle for an abandoned train station".  Straight away I thought to myself "I've a piece of video that would suit that!", so I messaged him, explained my idea and got the go ahead to make the video.

Two hours later, I'd come up with my shortest music video ever.  I like, he liked it, hopefully you like it!

Greatest goalkeeper never to play for Ireland at any level. A failed rock star. Now I take pretty pictures of Rock n' Roll, Burlesque and Political Activism.
