It’s been a long time since Idlewild fans were treated to a music video, so it was no surprise that they had a few aces up their sleeves.
Last month the band announced that Canadian actor/director Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon, This Is The End, Goon) would star in the video for single “Every Little Means Trust” and it’s a complete departure from Baruchel’s usual output.
Here we see Jay travelling through the Scottish Highlands as snapshots of his time and memories of a beautiful girl fade in and out alongside the music.
The band flew the actor over to Scotland especially to film the video, directed by Oscar Sansom. Jay is a long time fan saying, “Idlewild have been the soundtrack of my life since I first heard them in Bristol when I was 19.” Remarked Jay, “To say that I’m excited would be an understatement. I am proud and honoured and kind of still floored that I get to be a part of their work in any way whatsoever.”
“Every Little Means Trust” is released on April 27th via Empty Words and is taken from the band’s full length release, Everything Ever Written which is in stores now.
