  • Tulsi video premiering on The 405
The 405 is premiering the brilliant video created by Brain Wash for my new single Tulsi...
"The video for lead single 'Tulsi' combines footage of the microcosmic, the macrocosmic, as well as everyday and historical events in frenetic flashes, suiting the organic insectoid frenzy of the song - the luscious bristling pizzicato, scathing harpsichord - its rising-soaring strings, its vital thumping muffled heartbeat."
