The clip was directed by Erez Bader of Silent Flight Productions (The Dear Hunter, The Contortionist).

Ben Shambrom says this about the song: "All four members of Earthside contributed significant compositional ideas to 'A Dream In Static', and the melodies and lyrics Dan so expertly delivers are also a reflection of that collaborative writing style, with three of the four of us also writing the vocal ideas as well.

"'A Dream In Static' seems to be one of the songs on the record that most immediately catches people and elicits a strong emotional response. Knowing this, we wanted to give the track and Daniel Tompkins' truly outstanding work on it the spotlight it deserved. The narrative video we crafted alongside director Erez Bader of Silent Flight Productions afforded us this opportunity and adds a new layer of depth and self-discovery to the song itself."

without really reading the article (at first) I hit play and first thought of TesseracT. Having their lead do the song didn't help Earthside with setting their own sound, but piqued my interest enough to dig up their album.
