For the release of latest song “Open Your Heart,” Los Angeles native Mia Doi Todd recruited music-video-turned-feature-film director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, The Science Of Sleep). Filmed in and around Silver Lake, Echo Park and downtown L.A. and using a colorful, T-shirt-clad Riverside Community College Marching Band as its cast, the clip has a surprisingly low-key D.I.Y. feel considering who was calling the shots. The ’60s-lounge-inspired song was arranged by producer Jon Brion and comes from Todd’s forthcoming, as-yet-untitled ninth album.
