Seattle-based musician Erik Blood releases his new album, Lost in Slow Motion later this month, and the music video for lead single, "Chase the Clouds" has an unusual setting for the dream pop song- a gay conversion camp.

In the poignant video, director Peter Edlund shows a boy forced to change his homosexual thoughts by attending a gay conversion camp in the 1950s. The campers are put through sessions where they associate same-sex attraction with pain and go on practice dates with girls, but even that isn't enough to keep the boys' from revealing their true nature in their bunks at night.

Seattle's City Arts said the video has "a hazy nostalgia—for first love, summer romance, careless youth—which is darkened and twisted by the circumstances of the narrative."
