Okkervil River: "Your Past Life As a Blast"

Still a little pissed at Will Sheff for abandoning Austin for trendy Brooklyn, but by and by I'll get over it.  In the meantime I offer this grudging coverage from Okkervil River's latest, I Am Very Far.  Sheff used his father's own 8mm footage to put together this video.  It's supposed to tie into the theme of the song's lyrics - "Your Past Life As a Blast" - but really I think the grainy, washed out footage is meant to evoke the ridiculously trendy Instagr.am aesthetic, which I hear is very, very popular in Williamsburg right now.
