Watch: New Band of Horses Video For “Knock Knock”

Band of Horses has released the video for their single “Knock Knock” from Mirage Rock; check it out below.Director Jared Eberhardt said of the video:

“The ‘Knock Knock’ video was the perfect combination of three things. First of all as a fan, I had a genuine interest in making something that felt like the band had made it themselves, I didn’t want it to feel too slick. Second, I grew up in the area where we shot the video, when Band Of Horses wanted to shoot there I already had all the locations picked. And third, I wanted to pay tribute to the old nature films I remember from school, those old films were all about a bunch of guys going to exotic places and staging adventures, with very little craft or consideration to lighting or aesthetics. Shooting in the middle of the day, staging scenes in really artificial ways, strange eye lines from reading cue cards, etc. It was really fun and sometimes difficult to get my head around trying to make things look bad, but not too bad.”

Mirage Rock will be released September 18th on Brown/Columbia. Check out the video for “Knock Knock” below, as well as Band of Horses’ upcoming tour dates.
