The Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House creates videos that don't need to make sense. The band, which has a decade-long discography, makes music that's easy to get lost in, with a heavy wall of sound and ambient noise. In the new video for "The Traveller," we see unearthly footage of a woman in red walking around a dark set. The video feels like an artifact from another dimension: Everything is distorted and fuzzy — more like an experimental short film than a music video. As it plays out, we hear a song drenched in gorgeous, transporting shoegaze guitar and Victoria Legrand's languid, hazy vocals.
"The Traveller" appears on Thank Your Lucky Stars, out now via Sub Pop.
