Three videos in support of the new Low album Double Negative come together as one in this longform artpiece. Things start with Ben Chisholm's "Quorom," then segues into "Dancing And Blood" directed by Karlos Rene Ayala, and culminates with director Mark Pellington tackling "Fly," with all three seeming like an Exquisite Corpse traipse through memory and dream.
Mr. Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty finds it impossible to check out of the circular nightmare of existance — or, at the very least, a very odd hotel — in this perfect puzzle box of a music video.
Oddly, or cleverly, the earthbound scenes of this new Shabazz Palaces video seem way more otherworldly than the space footage that comes direct from NASA.
Father John Misty' aka Josh Tillman's tale of an awful romantic tryst gets a video that'd be more fitting for an ode to self-love, which maybe is indeed what this song is actually all about. Literally, kind of.
Until death do us part... whether you're Father John Misty and wife Emma Tillman at peace in bed, and at sea in their head, or you're the debaucherous EMT duo that knows how to live it up.
Just like the sights in William Tyler's Tennessee video "The Sleeping Prophet," “Daddy I Cut My Hair” was filmed in the Appalachians, this time around Pennsylvania. And like in that video, here Matt Amato gives you a real sense of what much of the area is about: beautiful, cold hills, somewhat-busy roadways, and the sometimes-distant Appalachian hospitality.
Try not to guess the plot in “The Swimmer" — LeBlanc + Cudmore’s super-stylish punk whatever video, until you’ve watched it two or three times — the video is more a pastiche than a strictly plot-driven affair. And quite the pastiche it is! Watch as a guy gets baptised, slapped and beaten-up while taking breaks to enjoy the television or watch some kids dancing.
