New Grizzly Bear Video - "Central And Remote"
The second clip from the still-incredible Yellow House LP sees Grizzly Bear opt for a new director (Jesse Ewles), while keeping somethings constant: namely, bizarre, adjective-defying characters amidst interactive, sentient elements of nature. Last time rocks formations sprang to life and conducted vaginal excavations, and here a rabid autumnal bouquet mercilessly devours a Predator-meets-scarecrow hybrid guy in a fitful act of revenge. Like ya do. And actually, its mesh of right-brained plot and video/stop-animation cinematography is oddly arresting and, somehow, perfectly emotional. Here are a couple of stills of hero and villain, courtesy of director Jesse's blog.
Watch the vid at Subterranean.
AND sweet bonus: Apparently at some point Jesse was working on a video for Sufjan that never was made. But he's got mad stills! Check 'em after the jump.
Birds!

I'm glad this song's getting some exposure. While "Knife" is a good song, "Central and Remote" has always been one of my favorite cuts [along with "Little Brother"]. I was always mystified by the fascination with "Knife" over this song.
Score = 0
yeah adam, like 70 people have
