Baltimore duo Wye Oak have given us the swirling, multi-layered “Warning” along with “I Don’t Feel Young” — in both unplugged and QYDJ forms. Here, we get a look and listen at another If Children track, “Please Concrete,” via its Caleb Stine and Eric Diga-directed video. In the clip, a little girl wanders her dull neighborhood (and its Where The Sidewalk Ends cracking sidewalk), stumbling upon creepy TVs and various monitors littering the landscape — these work almost as mirrors, but the images she sees of herself are brighter than her everyday. In a fittingly Hitchcockian move, Wye Oak’s Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack appear, though it’s the kid who knows when it’s time to turn off the boob tube and engage her surroundings.
