The sophomore album from indie rockers Brazos, which is called Saltwater, will be released on May 28th via Dead Oceans. Â And for our first taste from the album, the band and label have released a video for album cut “How The Ranks Was Won.”
Frontman Martin Crane describes the video for “How The Ranks Was Won”:
“‘How the Ranks Was Won’ is about a kid who finds the empty ship his ancestors came over on which is now a ghost ship. He boards it, and takes it back. It’s about taking charge of your memory and your past. I thought it would be funny to do that in modern life. In the video I get a text message from a memory (or maybe my cell phone is secretly trying to control me?), it consumes me, I ride the dreamworld, I come back, then the dreamworld rides me.”
