I posted a video of the brilliant Baltimore trio Future Islands a while back and make no apology for posting another.

‘Before The Bridge’ is a track from the band’s forthcoming album  On The Water released by Thrill Jockey records. It was directed by Abe Sanders who I presume is the same Abe who used to play drums for Jan Hunter’s band Lower Dens,

I find the video  to be magical, mesmerising – so full of life and colour. It was shot in and near the house where the album was recorded earlier this year in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The house was built in 1914 and was home to Abe’s uncle Andrew Sanders, who ran the shipyard across the street. The book and scissors featured in the video have been there since.
