Julien Baker has shared a music video for her new single “Hardline.” The detailed stop-motion visual was created by Joe Baughman over a period of several hundred hours. Watch the colorful clip below.
“Even after having spent 600 hours immersed in ‘Hardline’ and having listened to it thousands of times, I am still moved by it,” Joe Baughman said in a press release. “It was a fun and ambitious challenge creating something that could accompany such a compelling song. The style of the set design, inspired by a sculpture that Julien created, was especially fun to work in. I loved sifting through magazines, maps, and newspapers from the ’60s and ’70s and finding the right colors, shapes, and quotes to cover almost every surface in the video.”
“Hardline” is the second single to be released from Baker’s next album Little Oblivions, which lands February 26 via Matador. Baker previously shared the track “Faith Healer,” which she recently performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
