Watch Beirut's video for latest No No No single "Perth"

21 January 2016, 16:12 | Written by Laurence Day

Beirut have revealed the visuals for "Perth", the latest single from No No No, Beirut's 2015 long player.

It follows the visuals for the title track and "Gibraltar".

Clara Aranovich has directed the video, which stars Maceo Paisley and was filmed in Yosemite and Santa Monica.

Talking about the vid, Aranovich says: "I’ve long been a fan of Beirut’s music. In fact, the very first short film I directed in film school was set to a Beirut song. There’s something in the rhythm and sound of ‘Perth’ that immediately conjures images in my mind of funk-era dance; I knew I wanted to throw back to that period. Nature is a somewhat like a church to me - a place of reverence that is deeply democratic in that it belongs to both everyone and no one. These places are as beautiful as they are a neutral canvas, as real as they are surreal.”

No No No is out now on 4AD.

Watch the clip for "Perth" below.
