Sometimes, ambiguity is a good thing. The Brooklyn band Pearl and the Beard just released a beautiful music video for its song "The Lament of Coronado Brown" that adheres to that mantra by inviting multiple interpretations with both its visuals and lyrics.
The band, made up of guitarist Jeremy Styles and multi-instrumentalists Jocelyn Mackenzie and Emily Hope Price, just played a series of shows at CMJ and is currently touring Europe. Together, they make warmly inviting folk music with uplifting three-part harmonies.
The video for "The Lament of Coronado Brown" is a solemn, stately affair that mixes shots of the band with footage of a man trekking across a sandy beach, shovel in tow. He's looking for something, but what it is remains unclear. That's part of the video's power; instead of being told what to think, the viewer is dropped in the middle of the story and encouraged to come up with his or her own interpretation.
