We thought Shearwater’s whole “dossier” idea was a little odd and extravagant, but they continue to mine the bizarre with the new video for “Hidden Lakes” off of next week’s release, The Golden Archipelago. Really, what the hell is going on here? Is this some post-apocalyptic desolation? If so, then why are we dressed like the 1800’s? And wearing mascara? And what’s with the puppies? Our theory: these are two designated heathens from the “After the Rapture Pet Care” service! The video was directed by Alma Har’el, with Eduard Grau doing the amazing cinematography. How can Shearwater be so beautiful and so damned depressing? The band is currently over in Europe, but they’ll be back in Austin on March 13 for a show at Red 7 with Noveller and Xiu Xiu. Check out the video below, as well an Mp3 of “Black Eyes” in case you missed it earlier:
