BAND OF HORSES PAY HOMAGE TO 70′S BIKER FLICK: DILLY

“This is the first of our videos to truly capture the essence of what a day in our personal lives is actually like,” said Band of Horses singer Ben Bridwell.

Directed by Philip Andelman, the mini-epic “Dilly” video (runtime 3:40) is a companion to the track off the band’s self-financed Infinite Arms album (released May 18, 2010 on Brown/Fat Possum/Columbia) which was recently voted one of the best releases of 2010 to date by NPR’s listenership. Shot entirely on location in the Mojave desert, the video pays tribute to the biker films of the ‘70s and contains unexpected elements ranging from synchronized dancing to simulated violence and a eclectic cast comprised of actors and bikers. The “Dilly” video reflects the spirit of creativity and freedom that pervades the Infinite Arms album, which was written, recorded and inspired by different locales across America, including the Mojave desert.
