Alexander “A Million Years”
Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes is lying on a table, face covered in moss. Will Lemon applies tiny trees to his forehead, dusting his eyelids with green paint.
Such is the shoot for Benjamin Kutsko’s latest cinematic adventure, “A Million Years,” off Ebert’s solo album, “Alexander.” Ebert’s track is a warm folk ballad, which Kutsko matches with stunning landscapes and whimsical surrealism. His face integrated into each landscape, Ebert croons as a cliff face, desert dune, and a forest hillside. Ebert dances through this composite landscape, while two children prance about the hillside.
Kutsko has previously collaborated with Ebert for “Desert Song,” part of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes’ film odyssey, “SALVO!.” With cinematographer David Myrick’s expert camerawork, Kutsko creates a glowing, romantic backdrop for Ebert’s new song.
