Synthesist Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has shared a new video for “Arthropoda.” Kaitlyn’s new album EARS has been praised for its inventiveness and originality, with much praise being focused on her ability to create a lush sonic environment that is evocative of the natural world in its most ideal form. This clip, starring and directed by Melanie Lane, places Kaitlyn’s music to experimental choreography, shot at The Stapelbäddsparken skate park in Malmö, Sweden.

Following her current tour with Battles in Europe, Kaitlyn will be joining Animal Collective on an upcoming string of dates throughout the South and Midwest, including a stop at the Levitation Festival in Austin. She’ll cap it off with a special headlining show at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn with Forma.
