There's something about the folk rock of Great Lake Swimmers that evokes a quiet, meaningful night spent with friends, so the concept for band's new video is a bit of a no-brainer. 'Still,' off this year's Polaris Prize-nominated 'Lost Channels,' is an intimate acoustic ditty about the things you're doing in life, whether it's "searching for whispers in between yells" or "swimming in harmony."

The video's aesthetic manages to capture this sense of hope and youthful whimsy, with friends and fans huddled together, laughing and smiling as the band performs its song in a Toronto living room. Director Scott Cudmore even shows the video's actual setup, adding to what's already a charmingly lo-fi production. Check out the party with Great Lake Swimmers and a few of their friends in the video below.
