Koko Blue

"Salt Water" (video)

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 9, 2013

We recently learned that Koko Bonaparte (Interstllr) and Evan Gordon (Islands, the Magic) were preparing to release their debut album as Koko Blue, and they confirmed plans to release a video for each of the 13 tracks on Crosses and Planks. Now, they've shared a clip for the album track "Salt Water."

This video for this exceptionally low-key ballad shows the duo performing the song, and the close-up camera work is noticeably grainy and shaky. These shots are intercut with footage of icy ocean landscapes, and the whole thing has a sense of DIY intimacy akin to Beck's One Foot in the Grave.

Check out the new clip at the bottom of the page and see the duo's tour schedule below.

Tour dates:

4/9 Hamilton, ON - The Brain *
4/10 Guelph, ON - Cornerstone
4/12 Toronto, ON - The Cameron House *
4/13 Toronto, ON - The Danforth Music Hall *
4/14 The Common, on College Street
