We thought that the beautiful recording of 'Knock Knock' by Christopher Wilson was to be the official video of the first single from "Mirage Rock" Band Of Horses. We were wrong; Ben Bridwell's band just released a clip of the same song with which the director - Jared Eberhard - gets us into the same cheesy scene documentaries that characterized the 70s. Yes, we are talking about those "cutrefilms" projectors showed that for all types of schools, although in this case Ben Bridwell & Co. are wild beasts that focus the attention of the entire audiovisual production.
Jared Eberhardt, the video's director, explained well the meaning of NPR clip. "The video for" Knock Knock "was the perfect combination of three things. First of all, as a fan, I had a genuine interest in making it look like something that was done by the members of BOH. I did not want to do anything that seemed too perfect. Second: I grew up in the area where we shot the video [near Salt Like City, instead relied on the theme 'The Great Salt Lake'], when they decided to record BOH there had already chosen locations. And third: I wanted to pay tribute to those old nature documentaries I enjoyed my time in school. These old films showed many types going to exotic places and adventures, considering little or lighting aesthetics: recording day, preparing scenes artificially .... It was fun and sometimes difficult to make bad things they saw, but not too bad. "
