Director Adam Aiken draws inspiration from avant-garde science fiction animated television series Aeon Flux and a little hint of Soul Train for Swindle’s “Need To Know” visual featuring Toddla T and Sam Frank. This funked-out wavy cut has Swindle processing Frank’s vocals through the auto-tune and Toddla contributing with drips, locks and brakes on the production side.
