We Were Evergreen unveils the official video for their single "Daughters", which is out 3rd March. Directed by Dominique Rocher, the video concept was inspired by Zbigniew Rybczynski's 1981 animation "Tango".

Frantic indeed, We Were Evergreen delivers a great video to an excellent track. Check it out.

Eventually this computer generated liquid covers the entire house, and Glasser.
