Watch Spoon’s New “Inside Out” Video
Spoon’s 2014 album, They Want My Soul, was one of the Best Albums of 2014, and the track Inside Out was one of the bests of that Best. So much so that the band recently released a four-track EP of remixes of the song and the original demo of the song. And, in connection with his Eaux Claires Music Festival (at which Spoon will play), Justin Vernon has done the song justice by covering it well. And now the song has been honored with its official video, which you can check out below. The video was directed by LeBlanc + Cudmore (ALt-J, Belle & Sebastian). In the video, time has indeed gone inside out with sepia-toned vignettes of a robbery, a heinous fight; a prowling vixen in a tawdry motel; a backup singers’ studio session; and a too-young wedding. Most of the scenes have some unsavory flavor to them, playing into our prior theorem about the song’s lyrics. Check the video out below and solve the visual riddle for us.
In the meantime, Spoon remains out on tour and is headed to California later this month. We can’t wait.
