alt-J step up with a new video for their latest single 'Hard Drive Gold', taken from their upcoming LP 'The Dream', out February 11th. Directed by Joe Newman and Darcy Wallace, the video follows a girl who is running through her area with a pole in her hand all track and field style.
To call alt-J's latest visuals for 'Pleader' a music video, would almost be disrespectful. This is literally a short film. Directed by Isaiah Seret, the stunning piece inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's 'The Sacrifice' depicts the a Welsh couple whose inability to have a child uses a man from the community to impregnate the wife. When a catastrophic event happens and destroys the village, the young child is sent off to an all-boys boarding school where life proves to be rough. Once the boy gets older, he visits the land in which his village once sat. What can only be described as masterful in execution, the video in itself deserves an award. 'Pleader' is taken from alt-J's latest album 'Relaxer'.
