How do we balance our desire for material pleasures with our need to be seen as moral and good? What's more important, the shoe or where it came from? How it was made or how it looks? I am no shining example and I struggle with this constantly.' The video for “Compromised” was directed by Josie Keefe and Jonny Campolo (Pill, P.E.) and they note, “Inspired by luscious lips, dazzling eyes and manicured hands of the past, we recreated layouts, postures, and makeup techniques from vintage cosmetic advertisements. The video splits the body into eyes, lips, and hands - bringing the artwork of Public Practice's music to life.”
