Last summer's Slave Ambient, the second album from
Philly rockers The War on
Drugs, was kind of like an old-school Americana lesson in
snazzy twelve-song form. So it makes sense that the visual for
"Brothers" goes back to the American basics: a cowboy, two
firearms, some strategically placed duct tape. (There might even be
a hostage involved.) "We kept picturing it as the soundtrack to a
dark Western, like Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid or
Unforgiven," explains Brewer, the directing team behind the
video. "That is where the deranged TV cowboy character came from."
But does the crazy cowboy win his standoff?! No spoilers! Check it
out below.
