Ahead of Poison Season's release tomorrow, Destroyer has shared an animated video for "Times Square". Directed by Shayne Ehman, the clip features Dan Bejar singing to the camera as a number of anthropomorphized forest friends rendered with stop-motion animation sing and dance along. (They smoke weed, too.) Watch it below.
Here's what Ehman said about making the video:
We ended up just wandering around New York til 3am and the city seemed completely dead. We could have been anywhere, really. I needed to get outside and shoot in natural light in order to serve as a sort of conduit for those 'forces of nature in love...' which seem to rule the song. I let the sun do its thing and let the earth do it's thing and watched time unfold. I watched the clouds unfold and unpack and packup. I was at their mercy, completely.
Poison Season also includes "Dream Lover" and "Girl in a Sling".
