Belles and Dirt
I'm going to see Karen Elson when she tours next month, for now I wanted to share with you the video for her second single from her album "The Ghost Who Walks". The video is directed by the Belles of the Black Diamond Field and the song is "The Truth is in the Dirt"
“I read a New York Times obituary for Eartha Kitt,” Elson says, describing the inspiration for this song, “and there was a quote where she said, ‘I’m a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don’t trust diamonds and gold.’ I felt I really knew what she meant by that.”
The video is a combination of gothic aesthetics; a dreamlike world frequented by Millias' Ophelia, although this Opheila knows how to dance and appears to have taken dance lessons from Kate Bush circ.1978..
I'm so excited by the gig now - will let you know how it goes!
