Psyched to premiere the glowing, dream-like Jacob Graham-directed visuals for Beverly's achingly beautiful new single "Victoria", which was co-written by Kip Berman of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Beverly's Drew Citron tells us over email:

The video was inspired by our friend Jacob Graham's short movies that he creates with his brother. I watched one and immediately called him up and asked if he wanted to direct a music video. Jacob is the synth player and a songwriter in The Drums. He is the kind of person who puts real tea lights on his christmas tree, and uses electrical tape to make an Ikea cupboard look like 16th century stained glass. All the visual effects for the "Victoria" video were done by hand. A music video doesn't have to have a narrative structure or gimmick - it can just be shapes, colors and moods. We had a lot of fun making this with him in his bedroom, he's a magician.
