Wye Oak - The Tower (Official Music Video)

[@ben3480]

I can’t put into words the way this video makes me feel. I just love it. I keep finding myself coming back to it.

[@ChestersonJack]

Likewise! Unbridled joy.

[@Aint1S]

It's called good weed! This is what everything looks like when you smoke good strains, it leaves you a little dumbfounded and you can feel the music... The White Stripes 7 Nation Army used to do it to me too.

[@relliklaires9368]

I'm a painter by trade, love this song and it's feeling. Always come back to it when I'm feeling myself. Found Wham City Comedy from some random youtube channel, and I've been a fan since 2018. Loved the Cry of Mann and the Call of Warr, and wished those puzzles were solved properly. we really got the worst ending

[@oscarzoraldo4505]

Any dance that uses the "It's a Jolly Day with Mary" kick walk is a winner

[@KyleS.1987]

This is utterly, wonderfully bonkers.

[@ecscottindiana]

some paint even hit the mayor!

[@flowingspiral]

Been listening to this song constantly. Heard it on my college radio station (wutk 90.3). The song, to me, has this very serious feeling, so I love the overly corny dancing because it's ironic. I also love the shots of the woman dancer staring off into the distance, giving it that serious, slightly weird nod. I've never listened to Wye Oak before so I don't have that feeling of sadness at the new sound. I'm digging it.

[@blakebeverly84]

90.3 with rocks! I love that station. I heard this on there just this morning (5-20-14) for the first time.

[@blakebeverly84]

Blake Beverly *wutk*

[@danejurus69]

I can't believe this has less than 200k views. That's criminal. The video alone should have 5 million views.

[@sm44july]

Always come back to this song when I'm in a creative block. The visual, the freeness, the music, it's all so carefree which I love. Sounds like a retro 80s carnival on acid, but then you realize it's just a commercial on TV

[@FushiguroMegumi79]

Wow, for the past month I've been listening to this non-stop. halp. It's too addicting. Lovin' the new sound you guys!

[@2cutemadhatter189]

This is my 6th time listening to this, and by no stretch, the last. XD

[@BenAstarb]

really cool coming back to this after watching The Mirror

[@FrogJuiceJustice]

Honestly one of my favorite music videos, ever

[@ctallen7327]

i love this song. The video is all kinds of great as well. Props to the choreographers and dancers.

[@NeuroticCorpse]

At first I was a little let down by the new sound but as the song progressed i.e. when the vocals came in, I fell in love.

[@husker666]

Her voice gets me every time, The tone the timbre I am lost but in a good way!

[@djzenelvis]

ok not what I expected, but I love a band that don't do the same all over again so Kudos to Wye Oak.

[@yulegoat9987]

Holy shit ben & cricket, wat moves

[@Omniumae]

I've thought a lot about it and this is the greatest music video I have ever seen. Beautiful choreography, profoundly meaningful story, the percussion is so good, the vocals & lyrics are mellifluous and intriguing. The synth is rich and euphonious, the bass is delicious, everytime I show this to someone they love it. A total work of genius. Sincere thanks to everyone involved.

[@dumb_gril]

lovely comment, agree wholeheartedly and every person i show this to is like whoa what is this ❤

[@Masamune3570]

My first time hearing these guys! This song is fantastic

[@Kidmarine2]

Utterly charming.

[@mcphonium]

This video and song are amazing pieces of art, it was my gateway drug to the magic of Wye Oak.

[@katwriter1969]

Great work as usual. I

[@CoreySchulerMD]

Breathtaking. Baltimore knows.

[@Audiospacecraft]

can't believe this is 10 years old, I used to play this over and over and over before they made the videos so lit, if you hear any new music like this comment on this post, their newer stuff that I've heard doesn't sound like the same band, they were in the zone when they made this...Amazing Jam, album was super super good

[@luisliv_]

Simply marvelous...

[@katiemorvan9876]

i love everything about this song / vid - so happy i stumbled upon them via my spotify suggested tunes.

[@garrettgrefe8186]

At first I didn't like this song, I thought it was offbeat and weird but it really grew on me. It's just one of those songs you have to get used to to adore.

[@ayoralade]

This will be on repeat until April 29th.

[@Synchronomyst]

I wasn't expecting this video. Pleasantly surprised, though. Quite like it.

[@joejunior2970]

Absolutely adorable. Loving your new work, guys!

[@yourmomwards1951]

This is fiiiiiiire!

[@privatename7318]

The imagery & tone of the lyrics are both akin to the influences of the major arcana tarot card, 'The Tower.' Not sure whether that's intentional; cool coincidence, if not, but poetic brilliance, otherwise.

[@alexis_electronic]

could you explain what you mean? :0 im really interested!!

[@MrThiago78]

De tempos em tempos eu sempre volto aqui. :)

[@koolaidman52]

this is a good song

[@peterbillionaire]

Love the goofball dancing!

[@imacomputer101]

Still great. Thanks.

[@MissTessaBobessa]

Yeeeaaahhh! Love you guys.

[@RavyThompson]

This is great!

[@doantranphungtien]

Lovely

[@melo0115]

That looked fun...

[@bcaprari]

This looks like the industrial area around Remington, pretty close to where I used to live. Which kind of makes sense, since yanno, they're from Baltimore.

[@joshvanhorne]

The beginning was definitely filmed on Belvidere St. behind the Copycat Annex.

[@marcelluizbasso8987]

Desde ''civilian'' não vejo mais Wye oak

[@whatsuphotdog]

I LOVE THIS

[@AverageWagie]

I bet this video was inspired by the chimney sweeps dancing on the rooftops from Mary Poppins. Chim chimney!

[@stardappledgreen]

Yeah, it reminds me of a painting crew rehearsing for a community theater Mary Poppins production

[@ChestersonJack]

The beginning feels like a jolly holiday with Mary too. I’m glad I’m not the only one who got those vibes

[@Fostermedeiros]

love it.

[@BernsteinOmega]

I love this shit! Painter girl is very cute too.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

Even hotter.

[@ChestersonJack]

That’s Cricket Arrison if you wanna see her in more stuff. She’s a fun actor

[@epigramss]

This totally reminds me of one of Beach House's videos that they made for their Teen Dream LP! I've missed this feeling. Thank you so much.

[@زهرةانا-ب2ح]

روعه

[@ilyak3177]

Is it Steve Oram on 3:05?

[@Aint1S]

This song is like some sativa at the right time and place; when peoples movements synch up with the beat the music, no care in the world, and the weather is perfect! I never have that happen inside buildings, unless I'm recording music and zone out as I listen for errors in my playing.

[@dinojr8760]

Damn Jenn why you soo good.

[@velvetvinz]

jesus! this is addicting!

[@eamonius]

1:25 Charlie Brown in his late twenties.

[@koolrockradio]

Kool!!!

[@DeathOrGlory83]

80's feel/look

[@bank8489]

hello Cricket Arrison!

[@thisbambibites]

2014 could be their year!

[@phira360]

cricket

[@chocolatemilk5x]

This is so weird, in the best way possible.

[@ChestersonJack]

*Original comment redacted. Edit:* God I love this video so much. It means so much to me, even two years later.

[@dinojr8760]

yes

[@nicolesmith5908]

[@LittleTot2000]

[@schole9375]

日本人いるかな？1:25 なだる？だっけ、に見えてしまった 😓

[@schole9375]

草　今も昔も変わらない発想　泣けるぜ　繰り返してるだけかよ、意味なんてないんだな

[@ecscottindiana]

so weird this music video is an illegal a/v recording of my soVEREIGAN SOUL, I WILL BE CALLIing youtube to my lawy how did you film this you must bust it

[@ecscottindiana]

i do not remember making this comment so much that I treasure it

[@ziazin-jade4876]

Who is the dude in this video???

[@bcaprari]

+Robert Allen I dunno, but he kind of looks like Josh Groban with a shaved head.

[@andrewrenaud598]

+bcaprari Ben O'Brien. Member of WHAM CITY comedy troupe from Baltimore, MD! Check them out.

[@alexis_electronic]

Ben O'Brien! He's an incredible filmographer, and he usually works with the other two geniuses, Alan Resnick and Robby Rackleff

[@barynvm4750]

I was expecting a more psychedelic video for this tune actually, but the song is brilliant though

[@mrsnrub37]

why is jeff bezos dancing with the girl from the handmaidens tale

[@Hackerb0b]

Alan resnick!

[@eugeniar7076]

portugal the man 😂

[@elosogolososoyyo]

Ed Kowalczyk and the girl from "Twilight" are good dancers...

[@JeffreyMinter]

:-)

[@TheEternalOuroboros]

I feel like the intro suits Killing Eve, lol

[@fabi57iamracer]

Bacan

[@humbertorangel3505]

UM... ACWERD

[@pricelessair]

any idea behind the meaning

[@crawfordviolin]

Some weird voice effects huh?

[@DeathOrGlory83]

lol

[@HDMusicBeats]

Nice video! check me out if you got time thanks!

[@Nimno74]

I like it, but not anywhere near as much as I love The Knot or Civilian. Interesting direction, but I hope it's just a diversion and not the future of their sound.

[@Phoenix24Leas]

stoned.jpeg wut

[@chironOwlglass]

I understand many things, but this video is not among them.

[@ingramalastrine261]

Honestly? I love Cricket Arrison and Ben O'Brien, but here they both look like if they were *heavely* on drugs...

[@fakenamelol527]

Ingram Alastrine huh I didn't get that impression 0: It's typically hard to do something this choreographed under the influence of something

[@DZrache]

I doubt it (although her pupils at the end are kinda dilated looking there could be any number of reasons)

[@peterjohanvandyke5069]

Arco twin towers...4/11 what is next!?...

[@wanderingsoul9759]

Meh. I'm going back to my old wye oak records.

[@Wcook09]

As a first time listener, this dance did not seem to fit the song at all.

[@tvurk]

meh.. i don't like the new album.. the lyrics are cool but I don't feel anything special while listening to it. And trust me, I was hoping it would. Maybe it's because it's all a bit too electronic and overproduced for my taste. Oh well, can't please everybody I guess. In the next album I'm hoping for a more indie and dreamlike sound like Beach House. I think their lyrics and her voice are perfect for that.

[@ughaghost]

but the album isn't even out yet.How do you know you don't like it?Or are you basing it on this one single because that would be a bad move probably.

[@lubomirlukco5772]

Like the song, dislike the video - it just don't fit to the tune ... looking forward to Wye Oak live in Prague though!

[@Baguenaudeur]

Like they say "never meet your heroes", you should also never watch your favorite song's music video. Only crap this almost ruined the song for me.

[@lex_da_flex9656]

Yasssssssssss❤
