Fleet Foxes have released a new vertical video for "If You Need To, Keep Time on Me," from their album Crack-Up. The vertical video, directed by Vidanoise, with animation by David Hession and Rosie Holtom, can be seen now on Spotify. "The vertical video format provided an opportunity to make a compositionally different visual," says Hession. "Taking advantage of the aspect ratio lent itself to the constantly evolving, impossible landscape, with each scene an expression of time passing and how time is measured through nature, as majestically delicate as the song itself."
