Watch: American Football “Wake Her Up”
Watch: American Football “Wake Her Up”
The official video has arrived
It feels like a dream, a familiar place in view but something’s off. A fitting surreal vibe for American Football’s new video for their track featuring Wisp “Wake Her Up” off their most recent record, LP4.
Co-directed by an acclaimed trio of artists in their own right — legendary skate filmmaker and aerial cinematographer Ty Evans, Oscar-winning writer and director, Cord Jefferson, and renowned skate photographer, Atiba Jefferson. The video pairs American Football singer Mike Kinsella with Wisp as they go on bike rides around nighttime Los Angeles with picturesque views of Paris projected behind them.
A track consumed with isolation and trauma, the video encapsulates the loneliness stemming from impossible love as Mike and Wisp look to find each other, wandering aimlessly to no avail.
