The Avett Brothers have a recently released a video for their latest single off of their highly lauded and critically acclaimed album, I and Love and You, which came out last year and made my Top Ten of 2009 list, as well as Paste Magazine’s Top 50 Albums of the Decade (As much as I love this album, I don’t know how it beat out Emotionalism to make this list). The new video is for “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise” one of my favorite tracks off of the new record. The animated video uses the illustrations of Jason Ryan Mitcham to depict the inevitable rise and fall of urban development, which Scott Avett says is right on par with the song’s message (Paste). It’s an excellent video for a great song off of a fantastic album. If you still aren’t on The Avett Brothers’ bandwagon, you really should hop on.
As I sat down to write today, I thought man it’s been a while since I’ve posted a good video. So I started to browse some other blogs to see if I could find any that I loved. Then I remembered that a couple of friends of mine went to see OK Go in KC this past weekend. So from the creative minds that brought you “that awesome treadmill video” and “that hilarious garden dance video” I bring to you “that sweet marching band in the woods video.” I should pay closer attention to these guys.
