The Shins – “Bait And Switch”

The Shins’ “Simple Song” video was a fun, whimsical, ambitious family narrative with a fully realized plot, but the band’s new clip for the sparkly, uptempo Port Of Morrow track “Bait And Switch” takes the opposite approach. It’s strictly bare-bones — just the band playing a song in a practice room somewhere. But it’s nicely shot, and the song, it bears mentioning, is great.
