For those who, like us, enjoy the power of emotions but cannot be asked to sit through two hours of a romantic drama (unless it’s a British recreation of a novel by Jane Austen), this new video for "Toledo" by Brooklyn’s Glass Elephant might work as a concentrated, extremely well executed, 4 minutes shot of cathartic and sob-inducing love-related rollercoaster. It’s got all the essential soul stirring qualities of a Hollywood flick without the unnecessary baggage, thanks to Russ Flynn’s tormented lyrics and the band’s evocative music, that team up to exude longing and describe the often unresolvable complications of love. The video’s beatiful imagery greatly contributes to magnify these emotions, emplyoing at times the overlapping images technique borrowed from TV series’ True Detective stunning intro. Check out the Glass Elephant’s new, self-titled EP here.
