Another cool video

This time from Passion Pit, a Cambridge, Massachusetts  group whose EP Chunk of Change is getting loads of attention from critics and mp3 blogs.

The video is also stop-motion, but uses actual objects and photos to get the effect. It’s a different feel from the Fleet Foxes video, and equally as cool.

I love videos like these. The standard band-plays-while-other-stuff-happens formula can be really interesting (see here) but for the most part is just tired. Videos that don’t actually feature the band (or feature them very little) are usually my favourites.

As an aside, this song was released as a single on the label Neon Gold, that puts out songs exclusively on vinyl (if vinyl never goes out of style, books won’t either). I bring it up because the guy behind Neon Gold used to write Good Weather for Airstrikes, one of Grant’s most-loved music blogs, who is saddened all the time by its demise.
