The Avett Brothers Uncover Long Lost “Matrimony” Music Video!
Today, The Avett Brothers released a previously unseen music video of “Matrimony”, a track that appears on their pivotal fourth studio album Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions, released on Ramseur Records in 2006.
The music video was shot by filmmaker Tim Nackashi in a single day. The spur-of-the-moment approach to the video was much like the recording process of Four Thieves Gone, which was tracked live to tape at a rented house in Robbinsville, NC over ten days.
“We shot on Super-8 with long lenses in a very run and gun fashion,” Nackashi recalls. “We only got a few takes in before we ran out of filmstock. I got the film developed and then moved across the country and kickstarted a new career… Those precious film reels lay dormant in a storage facility. The energy of The Avett Brothers’ performance leaps right off the emulsion. They were screaming their hearts out over the business district of Athens, GA. Damn, that was a great day.”

I love hearing stories about music videos made in such spontaneous ways. Shooting on Super-8 with limited takes gives the footage a raw, authentic feeling that fits the energy of a live performance. It's great that these forgotten recordings finally got a chance to be shared. It reminds me of Melon Sandbox, where unexpected moments and creative experiments often lead to the most memorable results!
The detail about them screaming their hearts out over the Athens business district while shooting on Super-8 with long lenses really captures why that era of the band felt so raw. It's wild that Nackashi developed the film, moved across the country, and those reels just sat in storage for years before anyone saw them. Reminds me of how much creative work gets shelved for practical reasons, and seeing something like https://casinoalavista.com surface old footage makes me wonder what other forgotten sessions are still waiting to be rediscovered.
