Today, Snowblink are sharing the new video for “Exotic Bird” from their latest album Returning Current. Filmed in Los Angeles with director Dawn Garcia (Destroyer’s “Kaputt”) and styled by Christina Marie-Karr Lyon, the song “began as a repository for an unrealizable crush, a place for those difficult and irresolvable feelings to live,” says Daniela Gesundheit. “It has since taken on a different meaning for me as I have performed it and re-worked the song for various contexts. I now think of the Exotic Bird as a sort of avatar for deep longing - that deep longing starts to take the form of brilliant iridescent feathers, a proud, unexpected beak, an unforeseen wingspan, a wild call, and it comes and perches on one's shoulder as a co-pilot towards the expansive unknown.”
