Berlin-based, Australian animator Lucy Dyson has created a new music video for Melbourne jazz outfit Urbanity.

Urbanity is the collaboration of Australian jazz great Albare on guitar and keyboard player Phil Turcio, who has worked with k.d. lang, Hugh Jackman, Olivia Newton-John and Jimmy Barnes.

Lucy has previously worked on over 50 music videos including Sarah Blasko ‘Without’, Paul Kelly ‘Sonnet 18’ and Kate Miller-Heidke ‘Ride This Feeling’.

“I was asked to make something last minute, and so I turned this around in little over a week,” she says at her website. “I guess I was having one of those seriously reclusive weeks where I just wanted to nerd out and animate, definitely my idea of a good time.”
