Directed by Bryn Chainey, the video for “Legacy” chronicles the loss of a beloved pet mouse, and a young girl’s fascination with death and eclectic funerals. Set against the lush, horn-infused melodies of the four minute track, the video explores cultural ceremonies ranging from a customary Japanese funeral to a space burial.
