WATCH IT: Titus Andronicus "In A Big City" (Isaac Ravishankara, dir.)
There's a timeless feel to Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles as he ambles through New Jersey to the banks of the Hudson. The lens distorts and pulls you a bit off-center and day turns to night turns to day. There's also a fantastic article by Amos Barshard at Grantland about the video and the 28 hour shoot that produced it.
"This being indie rock in 2012, the shoot is a stripped-down affair. There's a six-man crew and an inexpensive concept: Stickles stomping through his native Jersey, alternately backed by his band and confronted with human roadblocks, making his way toward his adopted semi-home of New York City. The theme: change.
