The second clip from the still-incredible Yellow House LP sees Grizzly Bear opt for a new director (Jesse Ewles), while keeping somethings constant: namely, bizarre, adjective-defying characters amidst interactive, sentient elements of nature. Last time rocks formations sprang to life and conducted vaginal excavations, and here a rabid autumnal bouquet mercilessly devours a Predator-meets-scarecrow hybrid guy in a fitful act of revenge. Like ya do. And actually, its mesh of right-brained plot and video/stop-animation cinematography is oddly arresting and, somehow, perfectly emotional. Here are a couple of stills of hero and villain, courtesy of director Jesse’s blog.
Watch the vid at Subterranean.
AND sweet bonus: Apparently at some point Jesse was working on a video for Sufjan that never was made. But he’s got mad stills! Check ‘em after the jump.
Birds!

What’s the idea with this song getting a video and not “On a Neck And a Spit”?
I don’t get that.
this video is beautiful and so is grizzly bear!
how many people will use one of these pictures as their desktop background? my guess: 8ish
FUCKING AWESOME. it’s really beautiful, i love it.
(to the first poster, the song isn’t being released as single or anything. a video was just happened to be made for it.)
this is really really raellraaaalelaelaelly cool
I love it. I agree strange choice of this song for a video, but somehow it makes me like the song all that much more.
really cool
if the first video they did had vaginal influences…
then the 1st picture posted above must be a least a tiny bit vaginal too, right?
Ya I’d save it as my wallpaper if there weren’t a gigantic pink vagina in the middle of that animal’s face.
That is really fucking disturbing. I seriously feel a little nauseous after that.
Oh come on. People are so sensitive. It’s fucking cool.
arrrgh. stupid mtv and its copyrights. more like copywrongs if you ask me. anybody know of another place to watch this video outside of amerika?
and speaking of vaginas…has anybody else watched that moneymaker video? who made that? i thought it was quite good. kept my attention for the full 12 minutes despite the lack of b00bz.
I’m glad this song’s getting some exposure. While “Knife” is a good song, “Central and Remote” has always been one of my favorite cuts [along with "Little Brother"]. I was always mystified by the fascination with “Knife” over this song.
yeah adam, like 70 people have

and i agree with you, captivating despite lack of jenny boobs. but, there are porn stars, and that always helps.
doh. i knew that week off from reading stereogum would come back to haunt me.
Here’s the direct download of a decent .avi. I’m over-joyed by the positivity the video is receiving.
