Bishop Allen Prove You Don’t Need a Video Budget When You’ve Got Flappers and Fringe

If muted, at first glance this video could almost be mistaken for a flapper chick’s take on the “Single Ladies” viral video craze sans Terminator glove. That is, until the immediate close-up of the indie-rock beard that belongs to a man playing the heck out of his little baritone. But as it plays out, it’s more just Bishop Allen being generally adorable while leading something that vaguely resembles the watusi. The whole scene sets a nice stage for the calmly enchanting call and answer of “True Or False.” It also gives a nice showcase to Darbie, who has become an intricate part of the band’s live shows but can sometimes be thrust to the background when people look at this band.
