It’s fitting to premier John Henry‘s moody music video for “Wave to the Sky” on a day such a this, a weirdly warm and rainy Tuesday in February. The featured track, off Henry’s 2016 album Dark City Dark Country, is a subdued and reflective ballad that distinguishes itself from DCDC‘s other straightforward rock songs.

Filmed and edited by Tim Gebauer at his Electropolis Studios, the minimalist music video finds our hero (John Henry himself) calm and resolute, in stark black and white:

“Wave to the Sky” is the last song that John Henry and his band mate, friend, and collaborator Nathan Jatcko recorded together; it showcases the lauded musician’s contributions extensively. Jatcko died tragically in January. All proceeds from the sale of “Wave to the Sky” will be donated to the Nathan Jatcko Memorial Scholarship Fund.
