"Enter a universe suspended between cosmic and Earthly interfaces in the music video for Bayonne's latest single, 'Right Thing.' A progressive rhythm works with hypnotic, new age conventions to elicit a encouraging forward movements. Director and animator, Lauren Haug, hoped to create a "tangible fantasy world" to layer upon the world we know. Mystifying nostalgia surfaces from her blend of esoteric and 20th century vintage symbolism."

"Each frame infused with colorful earthly, cosmic, and psychedelic elements, the music video—like the song—is somehow simultaneously both retro and futuristic, grounding and fantastical. Hypnotic from start to finish, Haug’s visuals conjure a feeling of awe at life itself, in this dimension and any others that might exist beyond it."

"The video, directed and animated by Lauren Haug, occupies a similar, multidimensional space by following the protagonist’s path to self-realization. Their dismal, black and white world transforms into a dreamy, technicolor kingdom fit for a hero ready to quest for what has been lost within. The result is a re-saturation of and appreciation for life. "
