Artist, poet and filmmaker Christine Brache practices balancing books on her head, mostly in the dark, in her new video for Timber Timbre.

Their new album Sincerely, Future Pollution is out in April.

CHRISTINE BRACHE:

"We wanted the video to have a homemade feel, lo-fi, to make the situation feel more intimate. With the first cut, I tried to let the video weave in and out of the song. The repetition emphasizes the earnest desire to be disciplined, which I think compliments the song.

"As it is a music video, I don’t think it should be grounded in narrative because I don’t think the song needs it. The song stands on its own. Any attempt to try to overshadow that would weaken the video. I think the music video’s job is to provide opportunities for the viewer to see non-linear gestures and moments and to give the song space. A good song needs a lot of space."

Taylor Kirk (Timber Timbre):

"I’d enjoyed the intimacy in the things that Cristine and [her partner] Brad Philips were making, together and respectively. Working outside the parameters of more conventional music video makers, I think the result is something that feels very true and candid. They seemed to understand the essence of the music very well. Though euphemistic the discipline ritual in the video is softly charged and shows a kind of tenderness and romance to the fixations parallel in the song."
