Weekend Videos: Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & Dawn McCarthy – “Omaha”

Back in February Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy joined forces with habitual co-conspirator Dawn McCarthy to release ‘What The Brothers Sang’; their tasteful tribute to The Everly Brothers’ lesser known cuts.

For “Omaha” first time video director Ben Russell employed the same experimental techniques he’s known for to produce a slightly surreal yet totally captivating video. From sombre beaches to claustrophobic discotheques the video is suitable companion piece for the great track.
