I don't know where you live, but here the colors on the trees are turning. In the New Pornographers' new video for the title track from this year's Challengers, the colors everywhere are starting to melt. The Darren Pasemko-directed clip starts in black-and-white, as a woman in a polka-dotted dress and a guy in a black Western shirt (the pair are in the band Courtier) make out on a love seat. Neko Case's vocal is both forceful and tinged with regret. As the rest of the band materializes, the video switches to color, beginning with Case's cold beverage, and then eventually overflows with the stuff (color, not the beverage). "Whatever the mess you are, you're mine, OK?" Case sings, envisioning a beautiful alternate history, putting the leaves back on the trees. (via Subterranean)
