Sharon Van Etten’s new video for “Leonard,” from this year’s excellent Tramp, features kaladiscopic imagery of the singer, roads, and buildings, with a constant movement that transforms the song into something different than how it appears on the album. The clip, directed by Sam Zimman, premiered earlier via The Los Angeles Times, and you can check it out below. Also, we have the current Sharon Van Etten tour dates for you.
