Video of the Day: the Decemberists ~ “the Rake’s Song” UK Art School Competition Winner

Posted by cristóvão On October - 18 - 2009

the DecemberistsThis year’s concept album the Hazards of Love by Portland, OR group the Decemberists is quite good (in case you already didn’t know) and features one of my favourite songs of the year, “the Rake’s Song”. An upbeat, contagious tune with an extremely dark tale, it’s certainly a standout on the band’s fifth full-length album.

Earlier this year, they challenged a number of  students from Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London, England with creating an animated video for said song. After various submissions, the winning video was chosen earlier this month. Alex Dashino and Varvara Volodina created and directed the video in Moscowa and features some interesting, if not bizarre, visuals;

The Decemberists are set to headline some shows in Australia in the new year and will perform the last Hazards of Love shows in the U.S. this weekend.
