Young Turks couple the release of beat master Jamie XX’s debut album ‘In Colour’ with a spectacular sci-fi themed music video.

Combining raw textures from NASA’s recently released bank of images and some extremely skilfully integrated 3D work, the video’s director Erik Wernquist and his team have delivered a stunningly life-like intergalactic experience to match the hustling shake and haunting melodies of XX’s single ‘Gosh’.
