Gardens – “Staring at a line is not always fine.” Music Video

In contrast to all the other high-budget music videos being featured on this site is Gardens’ video for “Staring at a line is not always fine.” There is no fanciness here — no modern dance, no interchangeable camera lenses — just a lot of fun with MacBooks, and mot likely, a completely maddening amount of editing.

According to the band: “This mostly takes place for the recording and pictures of recording at Evan Johnson’s house in Holly, MI, but also party-hang style in Ferndale, MI with our friends.”
