“Avner Shiloah’s video for “Clouds” captures the song’s duality, which Douglas references lyrically: “Under the darkest cloud / I can see a world / It breathes new.” Particularly poignant is its mix of past and present — 8mm family footage from her parents and current images filmed by Alexander Brown… as if to say, time to put nostalgia in the rear-view mirror and “find your way.” – Buzzbands.LA
“Avner Shiloah directs a nostalgic meditation on the buoyancy of a child’s dreams, for Douglas’ Clouds. Juxtaposed with the often harsh reality of adulthood, the video is made up of 8mm footage of the artist’s family, combined with footage shot by filmmaker Alexander Brown (who directed James Blake’s If The Car Behind You Moves Ahead). The dichotomy of the lo-fi aesthetic in contrast with the emotional story creates a yearning, nostalgic vibe, which is very much in keeping with the themes of the track.” – Promonews
