Low – “Just Make It Stop” Video (Stereogum Premiere)
The veteran Minnesota band Low released their new Jeff Tweedy-produced album The Invisible Way last month, and now they’ve delivered its first video, for the soft and wispy “Just Make It Stop.” The video, from director Philip Harder, is a performance clip, but it’s a different kind of performance clip. It starts out with nothing but extreme, disorienting close-ups: Fingers on knobs, brushes tapping cymbals, Mimi Parker’s lips next to a microphone. As the video continues, it turns into a sort of kaleidoscopic stop-motion ecological fantasy, as plants take over the studio while the band is still performing. Watch it and check out the band’s tour dates below.
