New Beach House Video - "Heart Of Chambers"

We've mentioned how much we like Devotion. One of the album's stand out tracks from day-one has been "Heart Of Chambers." In Beach House's lovely video treatment for the song -- directed by Victoria's brother Alistair -- we see a spinning chandelier, spinning cards, and Victoria pushing Alex around in a shopping cart as they look for a place called "Devotion." It's a hard place to locate -- notice the Rosary in Alex's hand when he's strumming or when he's petting the porcelain cat for luck. They take Polaroids along the way, probably in case they need to find their way back.

A tiny Beach House. Seems like only two weeks ago when they did a video for "You Came To Me." Regardless, hopefully they have more than the shopping cart when they head out on tour with the Papercuts tonight:
