The Texas band, perhaps best known for scoring the Friday Night Lights television series, has made a name for themselves with their heartbreaking, expansive sound. So it makes sense that their videos are as dizzyingly beautiful as their music. The video for “Postcard From 1952” from Take Care, Take Care, Take Care is filled with mesmerizingly slow and somewhat mysterious shots. But that’s what you should expect when one of your co-directors was the second unit cinematographer for Terrence Malick’s head-spinning opus, The Tree of Life. The seven-minute tear-jerker of a video is set in beautiful, haunting slow-motion as we see scenes of a child’s wonder, a mother photographing her child, a young couple’s kiss. It sounds like a Hallmark commercial, but plays like the sweetest memento of life’s magic.
