This is more of a film short than it is a music video. I’m initially struck by how playful but ultimately sad this video is. The story is concordant with the track in the sense that its sparse and delicate but strong in it’s visual and sonic beauty. This deserves more than one view for sure.
The Walkmen playing Deerhunter. Whole thing worth the watch because The Walkmen are pretty fantastic, but if you want to skip the foreplay and get right to the point”Agoraphobia” cover at 10:30 minute mark. I’ll go ahead and say it because someone else will/has “the original is better!!!!1!!111!11”. Duh. That being said, it’s always cool to see a band that is great cover a band that is great. Plus, they seem super nice.
A recording of Deerhunter’s live performance at the Apple store in soho is out via 4AD and The Walkmen’s latest record “Lisbon” on Fat Possum.
