Alabama Shakes Launch Space-Age "Sound & Color" Video
The very warm-you-up-ish title track on Alabama Shakes' majestic, powerful new album isn't the one you'd expect to get the first music video—not over "Don't Wanna Fight" or "Gimme All Your Love"—but here we are. And the clip's as surprising as the melange of new musical directions on Sound & Color. Check it out above.
The austere, James Frost–helmed mini-story is melancholy, featuring a disoriented spaceman navigating the cold white contours of his floating home. His memory sparks with vivid flashes of his earthbound life—his long-gone wife and son; birthdays; swingsets. Our hero's alone, his world of sound and color replaced with powdered food packets and a lonesome control room.
