In case you weren’t aware, the new sleepmakeswaves album is fantastic. It’s especially memorable for its smile-inducing sense of hope, a fact that hasn’t at all diminished for me over repeated listens. However, it’s always good to have a refresher and a video clip of what is possibly the best track on the album is a great solution for that. Without further ado, check out the band’s clip for ‘Great Northern’!
The video is simply enough, delivering home the message of wonder, exploration and energy that’s conveyed throughout the track. Sure, the message isn’t anything complicated or innovative, but I really like the way the imagery near the end of the clip compliments that feeling of being everywhere that the album revolves around. Is it a coincidence that it’s also an allusion to a track from the previous album? You decide.
