Matt Lief Anderson)’>Fleet Foxes have shared a brief movie for “I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar,” the opening observe on their 2017 document Crack-Up. It’s directed by frontman Robin Pecknold’s brother Sean Pecknold, and made in partnership with WeTransfer. Watch under. In a press launch, Sean Pecknold defined:
For me, the music encapsulated the themes and emotions of the entire document like an overture; the darkness / lightness, the quick / gradual, the strain between two competing voices and the unpredictable dynamic shifts of tempo and voice. I wished to create a putting visible allegory that felt each intimate and lonely, grand and triumphant.
With the movie I wished to visualise the wrestle inside the music by the story of a fictional character making an attempt to flee from his home and attain an ever elusive legendary place solely to be introduced again to the beginning by the pull of a mysterious pink dice. At the beginning of the movie it’s as if now we have occurred upon a person drained from a repetitive wrestle that has been occurring for weeks, months, even years. There turns into a irritating sense of repetition as he makes an attempt to succeed in these metaphorical finish targets and fails time after time. It’s one thing I can relate to, and hopefully others can too.
