Music Video Monday is in the abstract.
Jacob Church’s new song “Lines” is a beautiful, jangle-pop influenced indie rock meditation. The video takes the lyric literally by going completely abstract. Church takes his camera close in to objects and signs to revel in the details. He reduces letters and numbers to their constituent lines, and reveals little bits of beauty hiding in everyday life, before exploding into the big picture with some drone footage by Stacy Pennington. I’m usually a big advocate for putting the artist in the music video, but when that rule is broken this artistically, I’ll make an exception.
