EELS release music video for "Earth to Dora"

Los Angeles alternative rockers EELS have dropped the music video for their song “Earth to Dora” in time for Earth Day.

The video, which you can see below, was directed by Isabel Garrett and produced by Chris Murdoch of PRETTYBIRD. When it comes to the visual, Garrett said:

“The song is about E trying to cheer up an old friend over text. There’s something magical and otherworldly about the lyrics that made me think of Dora being stuck on another planet, surrounded by misery and needing a route home. For me, the song is about the distance that depression creates and the beauty of companionship. I liked the idea of mixing paint with stop motion to make a world which is a bit playful and nostalgic with lots of handmade texture to capture the sensitivity of the lyrics.”

“Earth To Dora” stems from EELS latest studio album of the same name, which is out on E Works/PIAS Recordings.
