...assails the listener with disjointed melodies and varied vocals. It gets better with each listen and should eventually win over those who are disaffected by their newfound gloom. Set in an abandoned house, the video immediately fits the dark and disturbing music. Half-lit figures and faces shrouded in mist create an unnatural, drugged-out feeling, making the whole thing feels like a séance.
