“Dead End Pools” - Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter

”The video was shot by our friend, musician Mike Antone, who lives and grew up in the mountains and rivers of North Bend, Washington. He brought us into his world of Rattlesnake Lake.
A town had once thrived where we now frolic in this footage, that had been overcome by a massive flood at the turn of the last century, most of the building’s remnants submerged beneath the lake. But the mighty tree stumps remain, and seem so alive — ancient and magnificent wonders. I love how the video brings them back to life as they are witnessing us, while we search for each other among the ruins.” -Jesse Sykes
