VIDEO: “Heart of Chambers” –
Beach House launches their 2008 tour tonight in, where else? their hometown of Baltimore. The streets of Baltimore and an abandoned train station also serve as the backdrop for the second video from their new album, Devotion, for the song “Heart of Chambers.” The video was directed by Alistair Legrand, brother to Victoria. DP is John Frost, filmed in January 2008 in the freezing cold. The video captures the sad yet whimsical sentiment of the song.
The band just took some new press photos, one of which reveals the outfits they’ll be wearing on stage for this tour, you can view that photo here
