Will Butler previews debut solo album with ‘Anna’ video
Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist comes to life by the beach.
Arcade Fire’s Will Butler has unveiled another take from his debut solo album, ‘Policy’.
‘Anna’ has arrived in the shape of a hip-swinging, beachcomber of a video, with the sharp-suited and hot-footed Butler jiving to a funk-led, sax-backed highlight from the LP.
With Butler’s every move, there’s a new animated addition to the clip, be it a lyric or a collection of quarter coins jumping into the frame. Colourful, excitable - it’s a neat match to the ducking and dodging new song.
Shot in one take, watch the new Will Butler video below.
‘Anna’ links up with ‘Take My Side’ in previewing the record, out 9th March on Merge. Pre-order here.
