James Blake – “Overgrown” Video
Nabil is a don among music video directors, and he’s reaching that Spike Jonze/Michel Gondry/Hype Williams level where it’s an event every time he drops a new visual. That’s certainly the case with his clip for “Overgrown,” the title track from the brand new James Blake album. In the video, we see Blake spending time at a remote cabin on a mountainous seaside, watching the world whirl by him at extreme speed while dancing druid-wraiths stalk him. I have no idea what any of it means, but nearly every shot is an absolute stunner, and the underlying feeling of dread creeps into your veins. Watch it below.
Overgrown is out now on Atlas/Republic.
