The Lonely Forest Perform 'Go Outside' Inside a Studio -- Video Premiere

James Bailey

The Lonely Forest hails from Anacortes, Wash., and share their mix of gentle pensiveness and subtle grit with fellow Washingtonians Death Cab for Cutie, whose guitarist Chris Walla has lent the band his producer's touch. This new video of the band performing 'Go Outside' off of their most recent album 'Arrows' is a sparse affair, and features the band delivering a somber performance of the song.

"I wrote 'Go Outside' while stuck indoors at a home for the elderly in Atlanta, Ga.," singer and guitarist John Van Deusen tells Spinner. "I was visiting my grandfather (who couldn't really get out at the time) and began to have this feeling that -- while still able -- anyone and everyone should be outside as much as possible! We filmed this session at Studio 1290 while we were in New York City for CMJ, and though it was filmed indoors we hope the song makes you want to get up, go out and enjoy your life."

"Turn off this song, you can listen to it later and go outside," singer and guitarist John Van Deusen sings. We here at Spinner say watch this video first: It's short and you can go outside afterward. Their album 'Arrows' is out now on Walla's label Trans.
