Silversun Pickups - "Kissing Families" - Directed by Suzie Vlcek
Thanks for the .mov! FYI, someone already noted your work here.
I love this band.
Didn't think I was gonna like it, then totally did. Thanks.
Yawn. Starbucks music. Middle class ex college kids. Video shot like a phone ad. Dull dull dull
wasc? had to watch it again to remind myself why i'd posted it back then. this is very subtly sincere, with the little bits of quotidian emergency, the supercontrolled (yet perfectly relaxed) edit, the ever-so-slightly oblique camerawork all contributing to drive the song home. all that in a mere performance vid? that's pretty tight in my book.
I think this might be an instance of liking a video because you like the song or the band. It's good because there's nothing glaringly bad about it. But don't worry, this wouldn't be the first time people thought a video was cool because the song was Pitchfork-approved hipsterness. Example Example
erm, had no idea of its pitchforkyness.
