Maybe Okkervil River ain't purty enough to be considered a "video" band, but they look good in this clip that tweaks the typical TV chat show performance. The twangy indie rockers take the stage as bunch of literal screenheads, donning TV boxes atop their shoulders and with screens for faces. There's a twist when they leave the stage and remove their TV faces and then another when the camera cuts to the audience that add a layer of depth to a cool visual conceit that could have held its own. --> watch "Lost Coastlines" (Quicktime) plus a singing interview about the video via MTV.com/Subterranean
