Most folks know Will Sheff best as the frontman of the beloved indie rock outfit Okkervil River. But in the band’s video for “Your Past Life as a Blast”, the world sees a whole new side of frontman thanks to his father’s home movies. In said clip, available below, the family Sheff enjoy leisure time and family vacations, all while an apple-cheeked Will Sheff runs to and fro. What a cutie patootie!
