Burn the Witch- There is something deeply offputting and deeply satisfyin about the contradictons of this childlike video, the staccato strings at the beginning and then the drum-machine sounds that ease in. Thom’s voice is often at odds with everything else too, going places you never imagine (for good or bad). The music creates an urgency that just keeps going. On second listen there is a very low droning weird sound. Very cool. It looks like the video references the similarly weird movie, “The Wicker Man.” 2 great versions of this movie, the latter with Nicholas Cage.
