Youth Lagoon’s meditative “July” gets a slick video that’s equal parts Donnie Darko and one of Lars Von Trier’s high school daydreams. Sleek, edgy, and youthful: it’s retrofit for the new year. Tyler T. Williams, who directed Lagoon’s “Montana”, is behind the lens again. Check it out below, or over at Cluster 1.

Youth Lagoon’s fantastic debut LP, The Year of Hibernation, is in stores. You can also catch the act on tour this year.
