Only in the fleeting and fickle world of blogs and indie-rock fans can you debut a video and expect comments like this: “but yeah stop making videos a (sic) record something new.”

So bossy.

I’d say Silversun Pickups probably deserve some time off after a pretty successful past couple years, which included the release of their full-length debut Carnavas and seemingly non-stop touring.

But they went and made a video anyway, the third from the album. Joaquin Phoenix directed this video for Little Lover’s So Polite.

Swing away, Merrill, swing away.
