Director Abraham Vilchez-Moran’s video for Night Beds’ searching country-rock song “Ramona” is basically a short indie film, one that has to tell its story without the benefit of dialog. This one tells the story of a crusty seafaring type who longs for a certain type of family togetherness, one that he thinks he’s lost. It’s beautifully acted and elegantly told, even if I spent the middle third of the thing wanting to tell the guy to pull his head out of his ass. Check it out below.

Night Beds’ album Country Sleep is out now on Dead Oceans.
