New Will Sheff Live Video - "A Girl In Port"

At some point last year, Will Sheff and director Mike Angelo Torres hooked up in Porto Sant'Elpidio, Italy to capture this solo acoustic take on The Stage Names' "A Girl In Port." In other words, we watched the opening second of this vid and read the title card. But we also watched the rest, and if you're in the mood to be moved (and slightly jealous it's not you enjoying those Adriatic views right now). For those wondering: It's a year old but news now 'cause it's just made its way to YouTube. Af if we needed to justify posting Sheff strumming against an orange Italian sky.

The Stage Names is out via Jagjaguwar. Last we saw Will solo, he was drinking low rent shandys during CMJ.
