The dynamic duo, Ed Simons and Tom Rollands of The Chemical Brothers released “The Darkness That You Fear, their first new single since 2019’s “No Geography. Ruffmercy, the Bristol-based animator created a video that is a throwback to the club days of the 90s, to the times of raving, sweating, touching and to match the fast-tempo beat . Rummercy mixes colors and collage to drive the scenes while the ravers in the video shimmy about the frame to the backdrop of vibrant psychedelia.
