Video: James Blake – “Overgrown”

Nabil Elderkin, whose video work has been featured on this site for both Bon Iver and Frank Ocean videos has shot the latest set of visuals for James Blake's  exceptional opening track off  his latest LP of the same name, "Overgrown.” I've been pretty obsessed with this track and album in general for the last week so it was great to get this new video that see’s James walking though forest and hills haunted by shadowy cloaked figures.

Video: Bon Iver - "Towers"

Bon Iver dropped the latest video from his 2011 Grammy winning self titled album. “Towers” was directed by Nabil Elderkin who also worked with Justin for the "Holocene" video and continues with the theme of nature. Nabil had this to say of the process…

“When Justin sent me a breakdown of what certain parts/lines of the song meant to him I did my best to decode it and curate into something simple, and hopefully the viewer can take from it their own feeling of what the towers represent. It was shot up in Washington state, mostly on Indian-preserved land, and our actor’s name was Mystic. He seemed to be very tuned into the land, and when he said he was also willing to fall into the freezing cold ocean up there (seems a bit sharky too), I knew he was my guy.”
