There's a definite Old Man and the Sea vibe happening in Bon Iver's new video for "Towers" but Hemingway aside, Justin Vernon's falsetto crooning suits the sepia-tinged visuals, which show a graying fisherman exploring terrain that looks like it could be a fantasy-version of the Pacific Northwest. Without any other humans in sight, the sea man's isolation rivals Vernon's cabin in the woods circa For Emma, Forever Ago and, if you're like us, you'll probably be a little puzzled by the videos' ending. Perhaps this is an occasion to just enjoy the mystery and leave things unsaid.
