alt-J have released a new video for their track "Pleader". The sweepingly cinematic video was directed by award winning director Isaiah Seret (MGMT, Norah Jones, Edward Sharpe) and stars Sophia Cookson (Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Hunstman: Winter's War, Netflix's Gypsy) and Morgan Watkins (Kingsman: The Secret Service, BBC's The Hour.)
The video premiered this morning on NPR. "When we set out to make a video for 'Pleader'," alt-J tell NPR. "Joe sent the following one line brief to director Isaiah Seret: "a Welsh mining love story; a tidal wave of earth." What Isaiah came back with was an epic short film, inspired both by the song's source material and Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice. A family must pit their desire to have a child against the knowledge that this would destroy their community. The hypnotic, hymnal quality of the song binds the video throughout, hinting at redemption while destruction takes place."
