Missing Person – Mike McCarthy

‘Missing Person’ is the first video from Mike McCarthy’s single ‘In Ages’ (2011). Produced by Frederic Dickerson, on location in Alaska, the clip shows a beautiful sparsity that adds to the music and performance of the music. Download the audio at inages.bandcamp.com
