New Jersey indie rock band The Happy Fits dropped their music video for “Little One” today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by Christopher Pasi. The band said this about working on the video:

“From the demo phase of “Little One”, I was getting an ethereal and otherworldly vibe. The song is a message to my future kid, so a kids-themed music video felt absolutely warranted. Every Christmas, my girlfriend’s family watches The Muppet Christmas Carol and the event is perhaps one of the most wholesome experiences on Earth. I wanted to channel a similar energy into the Little One video, so I made-up cute, alien puppet named Bilfo (crafted by the brilliant TJ Jacobs).

I started planning the video with my good friend Christopher Pasi (who produced our ‘Get A Job’ & ‘What Could Be Better’ music videos) in early August this year. It was the most intense and coordinated music video we’ve ever made, requiring several different artists from puppeteers to set builders to animators to painters and prop makers; I think we used all of our art contacts at our disposal and then some. We set aside a weekend to paint the sets (lead by the amazing Juliette Hunter) and then another 3 days to actually shoot the video. We ended up shooting until 4am on the second day, however, everyone was so inspired by the footage that we knew we had to finish strong.”

“Little One” is from The Happy Fits new studio album Under the Shade of Green, which is out right now.

The band are currently in the U.K. on a sold-out headlining tour. Next month, the band will embark on a headlining trek across the United States with support from Daisy The Great and Phoneboy. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public here.
