Following some Grammy love, an appearance on Saturday Night Live, and an on-the-money impersonation via Justin Timberlake, Bon Iver continues to strangle 2012 with a new video for “Towers”. Directed by NABIL, the clip follows a rustic old man – seemingly stripped from Led Zeppelin’s IV – as he goes about his everyday business. But, what are those mysterious drawings of towers there? Or, those figures out at sea? Follow the Walt Whitman-like protagonist and re-listen to another delicate cut off of Bon Iver to find out. Win-win, people.
Bon Iver is out now via Jagjaguwar. Update: Bon Iver has also announced new West coast tour dates for this spring, including a pair of shows with Feist. Check out the updated schedule below.
