Video: Fleet Foxes - "Mykonos"

Well, for a music video director, you really can't go wrong with flying shapes. In fact, I see far too many paper cut out shapes in music videos these days! So, it's a bit regretful that the video for Fleet Foxes' song "Mykonos" off their Sun Giant EP includes such stand-by creative tropes. Luckily, the song is anything but typical; quite beautiful really! And in a way, the animation melds nicely with the song. In the meantime, let's hope that bands take a stand against flying shapes in the future.
