Haley Bonar – “From A Cage” (Feat. Justin Vernon) Video (Stereogum Premiere)
“From A Cage” is one of the songs on Haley Bonar’s new Last War that features Justin Vernon as a guest vocalist. It’s a simple, beautiful song, and now it has an equally simple, beautiful video by director Josh Quigley. It’s not conceptually simple, though: The clip cuts between Bonar delivering a haunting performance in the woods and scenes of an innocent young lady rapidly growing up in a rowboat. Eventually the two storylines merge, and while I haven’t quite pieced together the narrative, I can’t stop watching the thing. Press play below.
Last War is out now on Graveface in the US and Memphis Industries in the UK. Americans buy it here, Britons buy it here.
