Music, Video, , , , ,

Indie rock group Bon Iver teamed with famed director Nabil Elderkin to shoot this gorgeous music video for “Holocene,” a cut off the band’s latest album Bon Iver, Bon Iver. The clip follows a youthful Icelandic boy waking up in the morning and exploring everything that the icy island has to offer. Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon allowed Nabil to run free with it. “[Iceland] is the most magical place in the world,” says Nabil. “It looked like Mars to me, so I always wanted to shoot there. When Bon Iver gave me the reigns on this video, I knew it had to be filmed there.” The final product truly is breathtaking; you get lost in scenic cinematography and the soothing sounds of “Holocene.” See for yourself in the video above.

Check out this fresh music video for Kanye West’s “Coldest Winter,” the final track off his 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak.  It’s directed by long time collaborator Nabil.  Available for purchase at iTunes here.

It features a young women whose breasts just don’t want to stay in her blouse and creepy dementors straight out of Harry Potter.  The song is remixed a bit in the beginning and offers another look into the psychologically dark mind state Kanye was in when he created 808s.  This is going to have to hold you up until his next album is released, which may come sooner than you think.
