I'm about to the point where if I listen to this song one more time my head's going to fall off, but seriously -- good for the Tigers. This is some top-dollar work, probably not seen since, well, the Golden Republic was on Astralwerks and had this one done.
"Buildings & Mountains"
Summary: Tigers singer Kenn Jankowski drags a boat down the sidewalk of some Southwestern town. He passes band members along the way who join his expedition out into the desert, where they sit in the boat and look pensive. Très cinémathique.
Watch the making-of video after the jump.

By the way: the Tigers are blowing up on YouTube.
