Local Natives – “Heavy Feet”

The video for “Heavy Feet,” the harmonically rich single from Local Natives’ new Hummingbird album, follows the adventures of the Llandow Visually Impaired Harriers: Three blind guys, with superhuman senses of smell, who get together to build and fly model airplanes. They also eat sandwiches which, when not being eaten, sing to them. This is a deeply strange and dreamlike video, but it’s filmed with a sharp, patient visual style, one totally free of directorial tricks. Ben Reed directs.
