Video: Phosphorescent: "A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise"
Pretty high production values on display in this video for the lead track from Pride. Expansive vistas (shot in a small town in Iowa town this winter), lots of extras, a horse, and we get to see Matthew Houck do a decent job with a little low-key acting. There's a narrative, too, though it's a touch mysterious throughout; for a while there it scans like Shirley Jackson's The Lottery set inside the video for U2's "New Years Day", and then a twist at the end will leave you wondering what just went down. Zachary Sluser and Matt Theisen direct.
