Wye Oak have shared the official music video to their latest single ‘TNT’, the first of two releases landing this month. Directed by Spencer Kelly, the dream-like visuals feature singer Jenn Wasner sitting in grass whilst floating mirrors above her display various reflections which metaphorically coincide with the theme of the track itself.
Touching on the single, Jenn Wasner mentioned:
“‘TNT’ is about the changing of the seasons, and using the passing of time as a means of reflecting on your own growth. It’s about joyfully acknowledging all of the ways in which you’ve grown while trying to accept the parts of yourself that are still stuck in patterns of repetition. And it’s about learning to see outside of the more superficial parts of your personality in order to attempt to understand the other, and reach some kind of equilibrium in spite of how different we all can be.”
In regards to the video, Andy Stack said:
“We wanted the visuals to capture the cyclical and disorienting qualities of time that come up in the song. We played with some spatial and time effects, and left the camera running on the mirrors which were fabricated by our friend Jason at Night Owl Creations.”
