New Video: The Men “Different Days”

1953
The Men “Different Days”

The Men have a new fan directed video for “Different Days“s off their Tomorrow’s Hits LP out now via Sacred Bones. Putting out a call for entries, Sacred Bones and Consequence of Sound fielded videos from around the world, but ultimately found German directer Helge Mundt‘s the most compelling.

Romantic in spirit, Mundt’s protagonist is a young skateboard riding artist. Using a naturalistic take on things, the video follows him down the road of excess to the palace of wisdom. Like the track, “Different Days” is a celebration of youthful exuberance, a testing of boundaries, and a crossing of thresholds. Intimate in approach, the video’s cinéma vérité  style is the perfect match for The Men’s rugged and earnest sound.

The Men will play a bunch of US live dates over the next several months, so check them out below…
