Last week, Claire Cronin released her new album, Big Dread Moon. It’s a wonderfully evocative record, filled with gothic songs that come across like fables from a different time, but are still grounded in real-world terrors, the monsters that lurk behind every door. Cronin’s music is arranged skeletally, her voice sinewy between guitar and strings, and Big Dread Moon feels like a singular experience.

Today, the Athens, GA-based musician is sharing a music video for “Saint’s Lake,” another highlight from the album following early singles “Tourniquet” and “Wolfman.” It’s tense and atmospheric, Cronin’s words slicing through: “Lay me down in the bed I am/ King of the crooked hand/ Once we were more than kind.” The video, which was directed by Brian Getnick, features disembodied heads and their separated bodies, grinning skeletons and a looming demon.

Watch the video and check out Big Dread Moon below.
