The lone survivor of a plane crash discovers the irony of a briefcase full money, in an industrial desert. The only signs of civilisation are a detention centre. When rain comes it is biblical.
He is washed away past Moai statues on Easter Island. Losing everything, he awakes cast on an Aotearoa beach, to the pecking of a Takahe.
Problems is the 3rd single from Inside the Dubplates and marks the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between Salmonella Dub and director/animator Steve Scott (working here with co-director James Littlemore). The video features a lone wanderer stuck in a scorched earth desert. The briefcase of money he carries is useless in such a place, and despite stumbling across a detention centre and signs of civilisation (in the form of dystopian power plants and pylons) our wanderer keeps on his aimless lumber. Not even a trusty fake moustache gag can glean a laugh or stop him in his tracks. If only it were to rain..
