Destroyer Shares Stop-Motion "Times Square" Video

Ahead of Poison Season‘s release tomorrow, Destroyer has shared an animated video for “Times Square”. Directed by Shayne Ehman, the clip features Dan Bejar singing to the camera as a number of anthropomorphized forest friends rendered with stop-motion animation sing and dance along. (They smoke weed, too.) Watch it below.

Here’s what Ehman said about making the video:

We ended up just wandering around New York til 3am and the city seemed completely dead. We could have been anywhere, really. I needed to get outside and shoot in natural light in order to serve as a sort of conduit for those ‘forces of nature in love…’ which seem to rule the song. I let the sun do its thing and let the earth do it’s thing and watched time unfold. I watched the clouds unfold and unpack and packup. I was at their mercy, completely.

Poison Season also includes “Dream Lover” and “Girl in a Sling”.
