Last weekend the Walkmen gave the Guggenheim Crowd a triumphant take on You & Me‘s “On The Water.” Just in time for their push through the late-summer/fall festival season, here’s an animated Nir Ben Jacob-directed video for the track that takes us to a dark-blue farm and a pair of rabbits who call the place home. When the farmer shows up with his confetti gun and hunting dog in tow, it takes on the feel of Modest Mouse’s recent whale watching trip, albeit via Watership Down and in reverse.

the instance of the term “new” appears on stereogums front page 3,018 times.
It’s a news site.
I wonder why they feel the need to put “NEW” in front of everything. It seems sort of redundant and idiotic. They should write a post and put OLD video from pearl jam’s album Ten.
Time passes…that’s how it goes…but not so much…
Poor rabbit.
looks like a band member’s nephew made this.
your comment sounds like a moron made it.

I’d like to just say that I think this video and it’s small but endlessly potent narrative are beautiful and tragic and…hmm, it is only a video, maybe I should temper the reaction – anyhow, I think this is gorgeous.
I like it. It captures the secretive, dead-of-night feel of the song well. Seemed a bit too literal to begin with because of the ‘all the windows are glowing’ lyric, then it got a lot better.
Wow, pretty good. A little predictable but I like the art style.
I had never see this before today so it is “new” to me.
holy no/
STREAMING VIDEO MAKES ME WANT TO MURDER SCORES OF CHILDREN.
Get a better connection.
I don’t know how I feel about that You & Me. I had it on this weekend while I was cleaning. All the songs sound so similar. That Dylan croon really bugs me, too. I still feel the need to listen to it every once in a while.
way better than the video for “In The New Year”
hurrah!
The video is alright. Needs a little bit more as far as story lines goes but this song is AMAZING. Love it. My favorite from the album. Happy they finally released it.
