New Release - "Bottom of the World" Live Music Video

We are quite excited and proud to share a brand-new music video of "Bottom of the World" today! Filmed in front of a burned-out old-growth redwood, “Bottom of the World,” takes a playful look at existential questions and celebrates the universal mystery of the human experience.


The second of four music videos filmed and directed by Chad Leto, "Bottom of the World" has become one of our favorites to perform live. We hope that you find your own meaning in this simultaneously serious and silly song.

At its heart, "Henry & Robin" is a love story about the promise of a better future, told in equal parts longing and hope.

Featuring Bud Dillard on mandolin, this video was filmed live in Occidental by Chad Leto, as the day transitioned into evening and the cool redwood air held us in it's soothing arms. This song always transports us back in time when we play it - perhaps it will do the same for you.
