The EP will feature the “Low” video (directed by Jesse Peretz) as well as three different clips for the track “Times Like These” and assorted bonus material.
The “Times Like These” videos included are the U.S. version (directed by Marc Klasfeld), the U.K. version (directed by Liam Lynch) and an acoustic performance directed by Bill Yukich. Actor Jack Black joins Foo frontman Dave Grohl in the “Low” video.
