Ökenscenerier verkar bära på en mytomspunnen praktfullhet med sitt oändliga täcke av sand. Detta faktum har knappast undangått Sveriges kanske mest mytomspunna popduo jj. Resan som tog sin början genom de djupaste av skogar i musikvideon till Inner Light verkar nu ha nått sin ände med den visuella tolkningen av Dynasti. Från dagsklar pseudonarkotisk surrealism bland ökenslättar till en kolsvart natt upplyst av brinnande instrument – inte oväntat har regissörerna Olivia Kastebring och Fabian Sigurd tänkt på alla detaljer.

Under de eldlagda synthtangenterna kokar ett upprop, och den medföljande texten från regissören är genomsyrad av ett politiskt budskap. Detta är tiden före Showan Shattak (Fabian som är en god vän till Showan har även gjort en video dedikerad till honom). Detta är tiden före det feministiska genombrottet och även ifall jj kanske ser tillbaka med vemod så resulterar det hela i något storslaget.
