Dan Mangan - Lay Low

The music video for Law Low is centred around a young child. Full of calming shots of trees and leaves, and the house where the child lives - this video is sweet and easy to watch. The video feels like we are exploring the life of this child through her point of view, from playing around, getting upset to eating snacks and being with her parents. Overall, it is an adorably domestic music video that lets us see a young child just being herself at home.
Listen to Mangan’s current single Fire Escape on the audio streaming service of your choice.
