Feist – “Cicadas And Gulls” (Dir. Keith Megna)

It’s great when smart, simple ideas work out. Here we have Feist and Mountain Man singing a pretty, sparse song while street-dancing dudes bust interpretive moves around them and the crowd of onlookers manages not to make any noise. Somehow, the dancers and the musicians both manage to give off the impression that everyone respects what everyone else is doing and that this is an actual piece of performance art, not a conceptual stunt. The slightest hint of smirkiness could’ve sunk this thing, but instead it’s pure good vibes all around.
