If there's anything I've learned in the year since North Carolina folk orchestra Lost in the Trees first entered my life, it's that they don't do anything half-way. Not only do their songs contain bare, honest lyrics that should make songwriter Ari Picker feel emotionally claustrophobic, but they also offer up bewilderingly impressive music videos as well as their new video for "Red" will prove. A visual marvel, there's numerous things going on in each and every shot (like the spinning dancer in a photo hanging on a wall and a growing houseplant) with each minimalistic touch combined together to create an utterly beautiful display that's gorgeous and a bit unsettling not unlike the track itself.
