Okkervil River – “Judey On A Street” Video (NSFW)
Okkervil River just dropped their album Away less than a month ago. It’s an excellent collection of earthy, jangly, beautiful literate rock songs, and perhaps the one that perhaps epitomizes the album best is “Judey On A Street.” Today, the band shares a set of visuals for the song that embodies the aesthetic of the album. In the Gabrielle Demeestere-directed clip, a man wanders through the forest and stumbles on a naked couple (hence the NSFW) as the lay freely in his path. He tires himself searching for something that he can’t quite seem to find until he makes his way to a highway. Only then do we know he was lost, and the juxtaposition of the couple so comfortable baring their skin in the woods makes for evocative imagery. Watch.
Away is out now on ATO.
