North Carolina folk orchestra Lost in the Trees have certainly been busy: playing numerous shows on tour, the occasional tribute show, and having just begun recording their new album; they somehow had time to film not one but two new music videos.
The first video for "If You're Afraid of the Dark" is actually from the band's 2007 release Time Taunts Me and uses footage from old movies. There's not a lot of info available for the video but it uses the archival footage to both create this otherworldly feel while still maintaining this odd sense of calm. Furthermore it's a great way to hear a track from an album that's not widely available.
The second new video is the title track from their recently released All Alone in An Empty House. The video, directed by bandleader Ari Picker as well as Jerry Stifelman of CreatoDestructo, is nothing short of insane containing way more conflict than I think I've ever seen in a music video. The video plays more like a mini horror movie featuring a violent standoff in the kitchen that somehow manages to remain unresolved before spiraling off into further insanity with the cinematography really adding to the creepy, supernatural elements of the video. A lot of time you have a music video that has nothing to do with the track accompanying it, but not this time. Lost in the Trees hit the nail on the head with this one. It's beautifully shot, distinctly memorable, and hella creepy.
