The last music video to be made for the 'Places Like This' album era... 'Like It or Not' was painstakingly stitched by the crew at Mathematics. Inspired by the art of Megan Whitmarsh and interpreted from a coconut concerned psychedelic love fantasy emanating from the stream of consciousness of Cameron Bird.
