Video: Marissa Nadler: "Mexican Summer"

As with "Bird on Your Grave", the video for Marissa Nadler's "Mexican Summer", also from Songs III: Bird on the Water, was directed by Joana Linda. It moves slowly, the narrative unwinding like a short film with plenty of time to kill, and the art direction and rich-but-browned-out colors give the feel of an early-1970s art flick. All of which suits Nadler's shadowy waltz-time lament rather well.
