The video for Wooden Shjips’ “Black Smoke Rise” is a wondefully-shot black and white video of a lone youth under the hot summer sun, well, not getting up to no good but seemingly contemplating it (though he does lob a glass bottle and kick some dirt).
The searing psych rock plays out as if it’s the personal soundtrack in the boy’s head as he goes about his business, and it works brilliantly. Watch below.
Unfortunately the release of Wooden Shjips new album has been pushed back a month from mid-August to September 13th, but hopefully this track and “Lazy Bones” are enough to keep you going until then.
