Only a day after sharing a full live set from Bon Iver a new
video débuts for "Beth/Rest" off of last year’s self-titled LP. Directed
by Justin Vernon himself along with Dan Huiting the hyper-natural clip,
starring band member Mike Noyce, follows a couple in
strange white suits, traveling through an enchanted wooded forest, cradling
otherworldly balls of light, and kissing in clouds of fluorescent fog, at times looking like lost footage from the film The Fountain.
The Beth/Rest 12", out today in the U.S. via Jagjaguwar, is available
on vinyl and digital formats and comes backed by an August 2011 live take of
the track, recorded at Brooklyn's Rare Book Room studio. The single is out in
the UK and Europe November 12 via 4AD.
