Pontiak - Second Sun / Beach from Thrill Jockey Records on Vimeo.
The new video from Virginia-based band of brothers Pontiak requires a great deal of patience, but is ultimately a pretty soothing experience. Combining the two songs that appear in the middle of their new album Living, "Second Sun" alternates between stationary shots of a field and camera-hanging-from-moving car footage for an entire two minutes. When "Beach" kicks in, the scene switches to guitarist Van Carney standing in a field, playing the song while the sun sets behind him. Pretty simple stuff, but still effective in setting scenes and contexts for both of the songs.
Hanging the camera over the shoulder like that offers a nice vantage point.
