DAKTYL "Cyclical" (Edward John Drake, dir.)

Daktyl - Cyclical (feat. SPZRKT) [Official Music Video]

Controversial, open, and raw. Freshly signed by Diplo's label Mad Decent, the first single & title track off Daktyl's EP "Cyclical" explores the last grasps of a dying relationship where the make-up sex is only a stopgap solution before you begin preparing for the next fight. 

Filmed in Vancouver ancient Maple Ridge forest, Director Edward John Drake captures the dueling sides of a doomed relationship. No one is as innocent or as righteous as they pretend to be. 

Director Edward John Drake; "We wanted to speak to the heart of the themes instead of building a narrative. "Cyclical" felt like an epilogue, a memory, of an old relationship...

... Sometimes the trust evaoprates & you feel like you're fighting yourself, and you go back and forward trying to justify why/when it all started. There's always a touch of guilt which comes with hindsight, and you always want to have a ~debrief~ to see if your ex feels the same way...

I'm 24 and every relationship I've fallen into has failed. I always feel like a fraud, like I'm conning someone into liking me. [Don't print the last sentance] "
