TENTS Take All Things Go Backyard For Their “Back Yards” Video

All Things Go has the video for “Back Yards,” the lead off track on TENTS‘ new LP Deer Keeps Pace. Writes the site, “Portland’s TENTS are throwing out their earworm hooks with charming DIY visuals in their latest video accoutrement. ‘Back Yards’ watches like a static tour of band’s actual backyard as backing vocalist Amy Hall introduces us with Bob Dylan-style cue cards explaining their mission – filming in three days per last-minute request of their label. Her background harmonies seem to echo a response to lead swooner Brian Hall’s optimistic, high visions of warmth and love unhindered. His own nonchalant, coffee sipping swagger carries a subtly-smooth country rhythm that gently layers with an underlying sense of melancholic fuzz.” Watch the video here.
