Watch the Darcys’ Seedy, Reno-Set ‘Horses Fell’ Video

the darcys, arts & crafts, horses fell

Last year, the Darcys described their third album as a record about “moving forward [and] learning in motion.” But the Toronto quartet’s newest video, for cinematic track “Horses Fell,” hones in on someone whose life has stalled. 

“This video follows Sonny Castille, a former Vegas lounge singer who lost everything to drug addiction,” explains director Michael Maxxis. “He moved to Reno, so he could disappear. I met Sonny at a slot machine in the Sands Hotel at 2 a.m., and was moved by his story. It is a story that is presented in his eyes. It is a real story of loss, and I felt it would be an affecting narrative for the ‘Horses Fell’ music video.”
