WATCH: We Are Augustines “Book of James”

You don't need to be a New Yorker to appreciate the beauty and potential magnitude in a journey across the boroughs following a traumatic event. In the new video for "Book of James" from Brooklyn-based We Are Augustines, we get to tag along on such a voyage in the visual tribute to singer Billy McCarthy's deceased brother, James. The video, directed by Matt Amato and starring Brady Corbet, is a touching and fitting take on the epic track produced by Broken Social Scene's Dave Newfeld. Follow along as Corbet takes a thoughtful solo subway ride to Rockaway Beach, with a beautifully shot campfire performance as the backdrop in the video below.

Be sure to catch We Are Augustines at CMJ next week in New York (dates & RSVPs below), and pick up the album Rise Ye Sunken Ships, out now via Oxcart Records.
