New Low Video - "Belarus"

Low's first clip from Drums And Guns had Alan doing his best Kobayashi, with chocolate cake in place of hot dogs. But in "Belarus," Sparhawk and Mimi sing, "To my mouth, frozen shut," so you knew there wasn't gonna be any competitive eating in this one. Instead, the vid runs with the icy imagery of that line, and the "brighter white" couplet, in a clip that plays like an extended ad for the joys and nostalgia cross-country skiing in Belarus. Or wherever they shot it.

Why is it that I love watching people wipe out on skis?

My money is on Duluth, it looks like that and they are from there.

That is definitely Duluth, MN. Mouths definitely get frozen shut during the cold winters up there. As a former minnesotan, this sure made me miss home.

I really liked the footage in this one. Very nice. More 5dM happiness.

This would make a nice lullaby actually. Nice nature imagery.
