Director Brian Savelson has come quite a long way since he directed Band of Horses’ god awful first video “The Funeral” strike that, homeslice emailed to let us know that particular piece of ick wasn’t him, but he did direct a not released alternate video for the same song - he also helmed their much improved video for “Is There A Ghost” and a sort of slo-mo video for The Republic Tigers, who happen to be on music supervisor Alex Positivo’s imprint label.
He gets even better on this outing with buzz band Ra Ra Riot (seriously, the buzz is mounting - almost everyone has declared this their anticipated fall record already). It’s a simple performance video, but done on a compelling world map backdrop. We’re assuming the strings are supposed to symbolize that we’re all attached and/or in this together?
