Dr. Dog – “Broken Heart” (Stereogum Premiere)
There’s been a cool trend in music videos this past year of re-appropriating found footage. Whether it was Rhye’s collection of vintage exotic dancers, or Man Man’s collage of B-movie footage, these create a beautifully nostalgic web of images. Here’s the lyric video for Dr. Dog’s lovely new song, “Broken Heart,” which captures footage from old amusement parks. The sweet, sad track is synched up with rickety rollercoasters, clowns, and kids playing. It’s a charming video, just don’t think about how many safety standards those rides are probably breaking. Check out the video and some upcoming tour dates below.
