Dig Deeper:

We almost hesitate to add this, since it feels like a terribly superficial comment to make about a group of musicians so serious about their craft, but the consensus exists among fans, and there's no getting around it: Grizzly Bear is a handsome band.

Video director Patrick Daughters (Beck, Depeche Mode, Feist's now-legendary clip for "1, 2, 3, 4") doesn't run from this reality: on the contrary, in the weird and wonderful clip for "Two Weeks", he embraces it as hard as he can. The members of Grizzly Bear are shot in a church, bow-tied, sitting in chairs, and staring at the camera. They're made up to look artificial - like strange plastic dolls or smiling marionettes. And by running back the film at varying speeds, he captures some seriously otherworldly facial expressions: even simple blinks seem bizarre.

All at once, the musicians' faces shine from within, and when they open their mouths to harmonize, white light pours out from between their lips. Sparks shoot from their brows, flames erupt from the crowns of their heads, and by the end of the clip, the angelic-sounding band is enwrapped in heavenly radiance.)
