Music video

The official music video for "Destruction" was released on the band's YouTube channel on January 13, 2016. It was directed by Philip Andelman and produced by Aviv Russ and Joywave.[3] The video follows the band as they hold auditions for a new member, eventually finding an MP3 player as the right choice. They enter recording sessions together and set off on a tour as well, until the MP3 player goes solo, eventually leaving Joywave out of the limelight.[4] Nina Corcoran of Nerdist complimented the video, calling it "clever both in its conception and creation."[4]
