Kid Moxie -- AKA Greek-born, LA-based musician Elena Charbila -- has a haunting new video by Markus Hofko, the director that brought us the bizarre yet striking clip for Flying Lotus' Phantasm." "Museum Motel," a collaboration with The Gaslamp Killer off Moxie's forthcoming album 1888, is an eerie, celestial song with a somber violin melody that mellows out the track's initial strong trumpets and drumming. The video takes place in a cave where only bits of mobile rocks are illuminated by a spotlight. One boulder cracks like an egg to reveal a woman in the water looking like a frightened creature of the black lagoon, projections illuminating her terrified expression. The video is an odd and exquisite complement to the delicately orchestrated track. Watch it below.
