Discussing the "Miss You" video, Lalonde notes that "we had a lot of fun working on the third installment in our trilogy of videos that we shot with Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay Goldstein. We spent the day in pretty realistic old man prosthetics and we couldn't help but be in character the whole time. We went straight method and embodied the role of 'old weirdos.' The prosthetic skin felt very real to the touch, it was a glimpse into our potential future."
