Music video
The music video for Blind was directed by Nez Khammal who worked with the band on the studio promo video for the album Exile.[2] Video was filming on 4 March 2013 in Frigiliana, Mollina and in Archidona in Málaga (Spain). The production team has chosen the most diverse locations, from the old quarry on the slopes of the Fort, to the streets of the old town, the church square, or some picturesque local trade.[3] Whilst filming Theo was running and he fell from the top of the stairs all the way down and into an iron gate, he hurt his head and eye and needed stitches, after that the filming was continued.[4]
