2020 has been a dumpster-fire full of manure, but maybe, just maybe, not everything is awful, as there's a new single from The Shins out.
Taking us back to before the world was dreadful (or, indeed, formed), director Paul Trillo takes us on an unwavering reverse-zoom through through the big bang into the creation of life, the rise and fall of civilizations and, eventually, a distant future all in one continuous camera move.
Matching the hypnotic synth sound of the track, Trillo's trippy visuals for The Great Divide prove an awe-inspiring animated visual journey, satisfyingly managing to both mesmerise and move.
