"dear god", monsters of folk.

I shot a music video for Monsters of Folk (Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes, Jim James from My Morning Jacket, and M. Ward) that came out this past month. It was created and directed by Lauri Faggioni, who has worked with Michel Gondry, Bright Eyes, and Iron and Wine (www.laurifaggioni.com). There was a video contest for the song Dear God, but this one is the official band video.

From Stereogum: "The soulful, dreamy opener to Monsters Of Folk’s self-titled album tackles big spiritual questions, and its official video tries to put this all in perspective. Director/animator Lauri Faggioni begins among the stars and zooms to the cellular level, in a clip reminiscent of Charles and Ray Eames' classic Powers Of 10 short film. Of course MOF’s video goes deeper, revealing a whole universe inside us. Wild. Members Jim James, M. Ward, Mike Mogis, and Conor Oberst are likely busy with their other projects, so you don’t get to see them here — a bummer if you were hoping to see what the universe inside James’s beard looked like."
