Wonderlands feature on director Lewis Andrews release of DRINK music video for Jake Molloy. Read the dull article here.
DRINK is the latest collaboration between filmmaker Lewis Andrews and Manchester artist Jake, delivering a music video that fuses psychedelic energy with emotional intensity. Andrews, whose background spans major Hollywood productions including James Bond and Mission Impossible, brings his cinematic discipline and experimental edge to Jake’s new single, crafting a piece that feels more like a short film than a conventional music video.
The project continues Andrews’ run of bold visual work through his company Wonderfilm Pictures, known for music videos, commercials, and brand films. For DRINK, Jake and his manager Weezy gave Andrews full creative freedom—an opportunity he used to lean into surreal, AI-driven visuals and a gritty narrative built around the track’s themes.
The song reflects Jake’s past struggles with mental health and his reliance on alcohol as a form of escape. Andrews translates that emotional landscape into a vivid, chaotic, and sometimes haunting visual journey. Influenced by Blade Runner and A$AP Rocky’s L$D, the video blends neon-lit psychedelia with grounded, street-level realism. Google-AI-generated sequences, crafted by digital artist morn1415, inject hallucinatory bursts of colour, shifting animals, and warped environments that mirror Jake’s internal state.
The narrative follows a Jake lookalike working in the NHS, navigating a world of claustrophobic bedrooms, frantic fight scenes, rats, Jaguar cars, and looping urban nightmares. The constant push and pull between reality and illusion mirrors the track’s heavy trap-leaning production by Freeme, whose sonic pressure ties the trip together.
DRINK stands out as an ambitious, tightly executed piece of visual storytelling. It’s equal parts music video, psychological thriller, and art-film experiment—showcasing Jake’s sonic identity while cementing Lewis Andrews as a filmmaker with a distinctive, high-impact style.
