Porter Robinson has recently been rolling out singles for his forthcoming sophomore album, Nurture. The post-Worlds project already has three introspective and alluring singles—”Get Your Wish,” “Something Comforting,” and “Mirror,” respectively. Now the artistic visionary has released his latest music video for “Mirror,” which takes a mixed media approach under Robinson’s own direction.

The video opens in a secluded forest, presumably North Carolina where the artist hails from, as viewers follow along the trail. A hand-drawn picture of the artist mouths the song’s lyrics as symbolic drawings of fire and water are seen over the nature visuals.

No release date has been given for Nurture, but fans can guess that the album will be just what we need for the hardships of 2020 in particular.
