Note to bands: if you’re trying to catch our attention, sending an email with the words “stop-motion animation video” in it is not a bad way to start. Of course, you’ll need a good song too, and luckily Gregory Alan Isakov has an absolute cracker in ‘Amsterdam’. The video, directed by Laura Goldhamer, took six weeks to make and was worth every second of effort. The song is taken from Isakov’s third album The Weatherman, which is out now.
