Blocktreat is the creative outlet of experimental artist/producer Brandon Hoffman. Inspired while tree planting in Northern British Columbia, Blocktreat began with Hoffman transforming natural acoustic sounds and bluegrass traditionals into unrecognizable electronic soundscapes. “Follow Your Stupid Heart” comes from Blocktreat’s recently released album, Exciting New Ventures In Fucking Up.

Director of the video, Sam Tudor, had this to say about the visual treatment,

To be stuck in one’s head is to be called a daydreamer, but I sometimes find that my internal loops and twists can feel more tangible than the physical world we inhabit. ’Follow Your Stupid Heart’ explores our distinction between internal and external. The girl in the video has two states of being. Although she is only “real” in one of them, she is alive in another. In this sense, every person is like a factory for thousands of worlds.”
