Vandaveer: "Mighty Leviathan of Old" (Video)

As far as videos of this type go, where a musician walks down a lonely stretch of road while increasingly bizarre things happens around them, I'll still take St. Vincent's "Marrow," but the single-take music video for Vandaveer's "Mighty Leviathan of Old", from this year's Divide and Conquer, is still definitely worth a look and listen. Littered with random bits of clothing, sprinting businessmen and sad clowns, the video showcases a stately, triumphant folk waltz that drives forward on impassioned vocal performances from Mark Heidinger and Rose Guerin.
