Tim Hill x Clock's Never Wrong
Listening to Tim Hill’s new album, Giant—a rugged, tasteful batch of cowboy tunes and Americana ballads that feel forged out of the embers of a desert campfire—you might assume that he’s been working on a ranch his whole life. You’d be half right: Hill is indeed a rancher, working in the Orange County, California, area of Silverado, but he’s actually a relative novice when it comes to tasks like tending to horses and driving a tractor. He only just got the job since the pandemic started, inspired on something of a whim: “I always kind of thought I could work on a ranch,” Hill says. “So I just looked around for some jobs and they had an opening.”
Hill shares a new video for third album single "The Clock's Never Wrong" directed by Matthew Correia (Allah-las). Tim explains, "We thought it would be fitting to shoot a ‘day in the life’ kinda thing. The ranch has been instrumental in getting back to a simpler and more rewarding way of navigating my place in the world. Scenes of horseshoes clanking on an anvil and dumping manure are the kinds of things I like to see and do nowadays. It wasn’t our intention at the beginning, but the shots through LA give a sense of a man not particularly fitting into his surroundings."
Video director Correia adds, “Tim and I tend to pick it up right where we last left it. A catch phrase from some old western, a line from some broken ballad. We know each other by these familiar monologues so when when the cameras come out we both know what to do without saying much.”
