Charly Bliss released a new album, Young Enough, last month via Barsuk. It was our Album of the Week and you can stream it here. Now they have shared a video for the album’s title track, “Young Enough.” Henry Kaplan directed the video. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks had this to say about the video in a press release: “This video is so magical and unlike anything we’ve ever made before. I told [director] Henry Kaplan that I was feeling inspired by the video for ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush, and he took that initial idea and made something totally beautiful and unique that’s as cinematic and sentimental as the song. Despite the fact that this video looks so dreamlike and serene, it was very physically draining to make. The entire crew and anyone who wasn’t in a given shot had to sprint behind the steadicam op so that they wouldn’t be seen and ruin the effect of the giant open field where we were shooting. Between that, the choreography, racing to utilize available daylight, speeding up and slowing down the track to achieve the slow-motion and fast-motion effects, and trying to get perfect, full takes because there’s so few cuts, this was an extremely challenging video to make, but for that reason it’s also our favorite.”

Previously Charly Bliss shared a video for Young Enough‘s first single, “Capacity,” which was one of our Songs of the Week (and the video was directed by Michelle Zauner aka Japanese Breakfast). Then they shared another new song from the album, “Chatroom,” also via a video for it. Maegan Houang directed the twisted clip, which starred frontwoman Eva Hendricks as the member of a cult. “Chatroom” was also one of our Songs of the Week. Then they shared another new song from the album, “Hard to Believe,” via a video for it (it also made our Songs of the Week list). Once the album was released album track “Blown to Bits” also made our Songs of the Week list.
