Celestial Shore – “Hour Minute” Video (Stereogum Premiere)

What the hell? Since when did summer camp turn into “hanging out with cool Brooklyn bands and shooting music videos all week”? When I was a kid we just braided gimp. That’s all we did, all day, and we didn’t think it could get better than that. Not so since Brooklyn psych-pop trio Celestial Shore teamed up with some kids (roughly ages 6-11) from the Art Colony Day Camp (part of the Children’s Museum Of The Arts) to make a music video for “Hour Minute.” The track is a whirlpool of drum change-ups, trippy bass lines, and surf guitar — in other words it’s just as unpredictable and awesome as everything Celestial Shore has put out so far. The video, which is directed by Sean Dunn and Emily Alexander, has a patchwork, handmade vibe to it that matches the band perfectly, and the kids are all really adorable and enthusiastic. Watch it below and check out the band’s debut album 10x.

10x is out now via Hometapes/Local Singles.
