I was dreaming of the past, the many times I've viewed a video by Chris Mills, and was wondering about travel, about the position of mobility, moving, transportation in his work; each video seems to encompass a journey, a physical journey, from the wonderous Acorn to his homage to Leonard Cohen, always travelling. Just a thought from Canada's motorcity as I watch this new video for BEAMS, who are on their own journey. Tour dates below.

Directed by Christopher Mills (http://www.numberfourfilms.com/) Written by Anna Mernieks and arranged by Beams Recorded at Toronto's Union Sound Co by Ian Gomes As a true collective, the seven-piece ensemble's sound brings together elements of country, bluegrass, folk, and avant garde to create music that echoes long-dead Appalachian voices while bravely injecting that spirit into 21st century pop.
