Fat Freddy's Drop Blackbird (Official Video)

The blackbirds in the garden take flight in this kaleidoscopic music video for 'Blackbird'. Blackbird Deluxe out now: FFD Store: Director Jon Baxter from Perceptual Engineering, Auckland built a 3D model of a blackbird and his team then set about making it fly and multiply. Baxter's philosophical approach for Blackbird aligns with the darkness of the lyrics by Freddy's vocalist Joe Dukie. “The Blackbird in my garden is often the lingering fear that attacks my creative process and inhibits action. But this can turn out to be the very same force that allows magic to happen, the very thing that gives momentum to dreams and allows us to break through to the other side“, Baxter said.
