From the EP Champagne in Seashells (2009)

The rock 'n' roll' friendship of Liam Finn and Eliza Jane Barnes (daughter of Australian rocker Jimmy Barnes) began backstage as kids. In 2009 the duo released their EP Champagne and Seashells, following Finn's first solo album I'll Be Lightening. The EP came off the back of two years of constant touring for the pair, and the lyrics to the single 'Long Way to Go' are heavy with homesickness. Joe Lonie's video sees multiple versions of Finn and Barnes in the studio, moving between microphones, instruments and the sound desk. Warning; there's heavy use of rapid 'strobing' shots throughout.
