Sydney Mills directed the official music video for Soft Vein's single All We've Known of Heaven, a synthpop and darkwave meditation on modern alienation, desire, and the search for meaning in an increasingly commodified world.
Written and performed by Justin Chamberlain, the song explores the paradox of contemporary life: limitless access to pleasure, technology, and convenience coupled with a growing sense of emotional and spiritual disconnection. Visually, the video was heavily influenced by Chamberlain's longtime admiration for the work of artist Robert Longo and the kinetic, sharply stylized performance aesthetic of Talking Heads.
The video was praised by Post-Punk.com as a "review of modern intimacy disguised as a sleek synthpop single and a choreographed corporate fever," highlighting its exploration of excess, disconnection, and the hollow promises of modern life.
All We've Known of Heaven continues Mills' ongoing interest in stories that examine identity, systems of control, and the tension between human vulnerability and constructed realities, combining striking visual imagery with conceptual storytelling rooted in contemporary anxieties.
