Okkervil River – “Wake & Be Fine” (Official Video)

In which Will Sheff and Co. unleash “sort of a modern homage” to Bob Dylan’s infamous 1965 “Subterranean Homesick Blues” video for their new single off LP6, I Am Very Far. In addition to the Dylan reference, director Daniel Gibbs and Sheff told NPR that they sought to illustrate the “weird crumbling-apart logic of dreams, and the strange, strong emotions dream situations take on” through intentional imperfections and a few happy accidents. The result is a decidedly intense, unhinged experience, capturing the track’s breathless — as if Sheff can just barely keep up with the thoughts spilling out of his head — pace quite well.
