Damien Jurado has always had a dark soul. His stark albums have always had more than a tinge of foreboding that’s been tempered by his disarming and vulnerable delivery. Well, now the gloves are off and the bats are out…literally.
Alternative Press debuted Jurado’s creepy new video yesterday and it’s downright unnerving. Watch as a cute indie couple gets chased around by dudes with bats through some decrepit industrial wasteland. Will they get away? It doesn’t look good but at least they have a killer soundtrack for their farewell.
VIDEO: Damien Jurado – “Nothing Is The News”
From Damien Jurado’s forthcoming album, Maraqopa, which is due Feb. 21 on Secretly Canadian.
