Indie heartbreakers the Walkmen serve up a one-two punch in their latest video clip for their recently released Heaven LP, leading into the steady-rocking "The Love You Love" with the blues folk interlude "Jerry Jr.'s Tune."

The first half of the vid presents some footage shot in reverse that has smashed fine china magically putting itself back together and zooming up-screen, though "The Love You Love" features some flesh-and-blood stars. A dapper little dude in a tuxedo wanders around an empty home haunted by a floating litter of beckoning cats, as vocalist Hamilton Leithauser croons the cut from a nearby TV.

You can check out the video, directed by Sean Pecknold, down below.
