Cass McCombs dropped his epic double album Big Wheel and Others back in the fall, and as he continues to tour in support of the collection, he has shared a music video for "Big Wheel."
The song is a groove-driven roots number, and the video reinforces the slightly threatening mood with cryptically disconnected images of everything from nature to classical paintings to TV clips to colour-tweaked cityscapes. Meanwhile, seemingly random words and phrases pop up on the screen.
The video was directed by Albert Herter. According to a press release, "Its chaotic, clashing imagery and oblique sloganeering are the perfect accompaniment to a song that see McCombs subtlety, yet powerfully dismantle generally agreed notions of Western masculinity and identity with his uniquely irreverent wit and insight."
