ALT-J Debut Haunting ‘Pleader’ Video
16 November 2017
ALT-J have gone fully cinematic for the band’s latest music video, 'Pleader.'
The video tells an elaborate tale of life in a small countryside village.
“When we set out to make a video for ‘Pleader,’ Joe (Newman) sent the following one line brief to director Isaiah Seret: ‘a Welsh mining love story; a tidal wave of earth,'” the band revealed to NPR.
“What Isaiah came back with was an epic short film, inspired both by the song’s source material and Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice. A family must pit their desire to have a child against the knowledge that this would destroy their community. The hypnotic, hymnal quality of the song binds the video throughout, hinting at redemption while destruction takes place."
