A faithful moniker of London-based singer-songwriter Dan Kert and his troupe of ever-changing collaborators, 'We Stayed Indoors', was released on Thursday, by Indie Rock outfit Plastic Barricades, their third full-length, of which the album track, 'For The Brave', is today's Video Of The Day, filmed together with London-based artist Olly Holovchenko, that explores stop-motion technique in a unique setting, Taking on the tricky subjects of hope, mental health, doubts, living in the moment, courage, perception change, regrets about the past and worries about the future, the songwriting on the 10-track album has been greatly influenced by Seattle Alt Rock icons Death Cab for Cutie, and the title of the record is a homage to their 2001 song 'We Laugh Indoors'.
