Videos for Okkervil River’s “Lost Coastlines” have been bouncing around the net for almost two months (like this one with Will Sheff and Carl Newman, or this one of the band in Norway), but now there’s an “official” video that premiered on MTV2’s Subterranean last night.
The video is technically impressive, as the band member’s faces are digitally placed in cardboard TV boxes that they wear on their heads. In a (moderately) surprising move, Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater, who quit Okkervil earlier this year, is in the video singing his portion of the song.
The song is from The Stand Ins, out now via Jagjaguwar. [MTV]
