Bowerbirds – “Tuck The Darkness In”

In the video for Bowerbirds’ gorgeous indie-folk ramble “Tuck The Darkness In,” a little kid watches his father catch a fish and then goes off on a soul-searching adventure. The clip works as a sort of vegetarian polemic, but I don’t think that’s the entire intent. It also works on its own terms: As a beautifully shot, deeply empathetic music video with a devastating performance from the kid at its center. This is a good one, folks. Carlos Lopez Estrada directs.
