[Video] Courtney Barnett - Kim's Caravan

Taken from the album 'Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit', Courtney Barnett has shared the video for the seven-minute 'Kim’s Caravan'.

Described by Barnett as "an apocalyptic tale of our world painted black with oil and soot, painted red with blood and greed", in the video for the slow-burning, atmospheric track (around which she sings of the destruction of The Great Barrier Reef and pollution), directed by Bec Kingma and shot on Philip Island, we see shots of Barnett near desolate beach-side tourist spots and playgrounds.

Kingma explains her interpretation of the lyrics: "In conceptualizing a film clip for the track I am keen to explore the adult attempt to return to that place of childish innocence. If you have ever returned to a childhood holiday haunt in the offseason, it’s likely you’ve discovered the sad realisation that the place barely resembles your idyllic memories. As grown ups we all yearn for a time and place where our biggest concerns were the sand in our bathers and the mosquito’s eating us alive."

'Kim's Caravan' will be released on Record Store Day, April 18, as a 12". The B-side is her cover of John Cale's 'Close Watch'.
