New Grizzly Bear video way better than the last one

That last Patrick Daughters video, though I usually like him, with incessant weird eye movements and random firework activities inside Grizzly Bear’s heads was totally underwhelming. Here’s a new one for “While You Wait for the Others”, and it’s directed by Sean Pecknold (brother to Robin of Fleet Foxes), whose choice of colors, texture and imagery I dig!

And if you haven’t heard Michael McDonald’s “cover” of the song, do so now. It’s better than the original in many ways.
