Khruangbin & Leon Bridges Share ‘Texas Sun’ Video

Leon Bridges and Khruangbin released the video for, “Texas Sun.” The song is the title track for the collaborators’ recently released EP out now via Dead Oceans.

Philip Andelman — who began his career working with Annie Leibovitz, photographed the Grateful Dead and has directed videos for Rihanna, Beyoncé, John Mayer, Jay Z and many more — helmed the video highlighting the stark beauty of the Texas landscape, which Bridges sings about in “Texas Sun.”

“I had never felt this transported by a song, never felt such a powerful need to shoot anything before in my life,” Andelman said in a statement. “We traveled out to East Texas and just started driving, creating our own set of adventures as we went along: meetings with pecan farmers in Van Horn, mezcal dealers in Marfa, ranchers in Valentine. We didn’t have much gear, just a camera, some incandescent bulbs, a tripod and ratchet straps. We fell into a family of friends in Marfa who took us over the finish line, rustling up wardrobes and cars, a neighbor with a home to shoot in, an ex-boyfriend with a drone. Calling this a labor of love would be an understatement, it was the ride of a lifetime.” Watch the video for “Texas Sun” below:
