VIDEO: PEAKING LIGHTS - BEAUTIFUL DUB

Beautiful Dub, the album's opening track, is a remixed version of Lucifer's 'Beautiful Son', the track inspired the couple's new born son. The video was put together by Peaking Lights' friend Mike Seely in San Francisco, and features swirling psychedelic surf images which work effortlessly with the track.
