    Great video. I fucking love that horizontal mirror effect with the cowboy on horseback crossing a stream.

    1. Love War On Drugs album
    2. Video is beautiful, love rhythm, love juxtapositions and yes to the mirror image of cowboys!
    3. Don't you wish life could be in that old technicolor for even a day or two?
    4. Archives are going to be a major time suck for me..

    @joshua - thanks, buddy. Archive.org is a great resource! I hope people use it.

    @David - I'm glad to hear you love the album. I do too! Thanks for the kudos on the video. Yes, I would love to live in that technicolor world. Two points: the vibrant footage in the video was shot in Kodachrome). And man, I really think that the desert South West does look like that all the time! So beautiful.
