Vox member Tiona McClodden directed the music video for lead single by THEESatisfaction for Recognition from their new album EarthEE out now on SubPop Records. The video premiered on Jan 9, 2015 on Okayplayer.com
“For the core theme, I wanted to explore duality through the visual form known as a “diptych”; consisting of two individual images, intended to be presented close together as a complementary pair. When taken together, they illuminate each other and comprise a distinct work of art from their individual parts. I see both the members of THEESatisfaction as being a real life diptych in the ways that they relate to each other musically and specifically with this music single.” – Tiona McClodden
