The War on Drugs have revealed the brand new video for Slave Ambient featured number ‘Brothers’. A bleak and sinister take on the classic Western narrative, the footage premiered on New York Magazine’s Vulture this morning with commentary from the director team Brewer:
“We kept picturing it as the soundtrack to a dark western like Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid or Unforgiven. That is where the deranged T.V cowboy character came from. We wanted the video to feel like the most exciting five minutes taken out of a longer movie. The biggest challenge in the filming was how to make the old cowboy (played by David Weindel) seem threatening, and how to make the nurse (played by Tallie Medel) seem like she was dealing with the situation the way a normal person might really handle such a nightmare.”
Slave Ambient is out now on Secretly Canadian.
