Today, the Twin Shadow camp released a director’s commentary version of the video for “At My Heel.” As “The Directors” say via press release, “Twin Shadow challenged us to make a film that was highly diseased, something sick, something bacterially infected, something wrought with viruses. He wanted us to take this film to its last remaining breath, knocking on heaven’s door while gasping for air within inches of life, and then REVIVE and REVEAL it to the world. He also wanted us to think outside the browser. Little did we know that we were entering something so stark and so dark. Although it was our first foray into music films and almost certainly will be our last, we look back at the undertaking with a sense of accomplishment and artful wonder. And it certainly has gone viral. To paraphrase Elvis, who shared our fondness for tigers, “10,000,000 blogs can’t be wrong”.

Among “facts” gleaned from the newly upgraded video: the directors (At My Heel) learned Russian, Twin Shadow has a twin, and everything is “A nod to Godard” if you try hard enough. Watch the newly upgraded video below.
