This Adam Stafford-directed clip is the second video, for the second single, from the Twilight Sad's second album. It's in the same vein as the first: The color palette is muted just like "I Became A Prostitue," and the piece is nearly as cryptic in that there isn't much of a narrative, but there is a vague connection between lyric ("You're running scared, we're on a hiding to nowhere") and action (lake-dumping in masks, and mysterious gangs that burn said masks). Just this morning I noticed how similar the intro progression is to "On A Highway" from the Fall Be Kind EP, which made listening to the Twilight Sad and Animal Collective's respective melodic/studio treatments a fun side-by-side, one iced and bleak, the other warm with references to sunstrokes and flowers, both good examples of how these bands contort their styles into their own forms of pop.
