Videos posted by These United States

this is our first music video for the new album, CRIMES, which is comin out Sept 23, just a few short days from now (well, you know, depending on when yr watchin this).  the video was put together by our good friend Jared Varava, an independent filmmaker in LA, using this pretty radical resource called The Prelinger Archives.  here's a lil somethin Jared has to say about that...

Built from 40+ public domain films, the video for "Get Yourself Home" by These United States uses the free and long forgotten footage of the Prelinger Archives.  With each clip, a resurrected moment of early film history offers itself up to be woven into the fabric of a whole new American narrative.  From the main character, who comes from a 1930's propaganda film about the importance of workers' unions, to the passing scenes of carnivals, cabarets and the great wild West, all come together to evoke the contrasting emotions, environments, sins, schemes, devils and delusions that bind us on These United States' newest release "Crimes."
