Delta Rae: Bottom of the River
12:24 PMI discovered this song and corresponding music video a couple years ago and I was recently thinking about it again.
I'm a big fan of Southern Gothic and bluesy types of music. The below song "Bottom of the River" is by a group called Delta Rae located in North Carolina.
NPR described the connotations of their music as creating a "modern folklore" and indeed the band claims they draw inspiration from a myriad of old folk tales, graveyards, and mythology. Still, they manage to sprinkle in aspects of modern life to give a fresh perspective.
This video for "Bottom of the River" echoes visions of a witch trail as a beauty is chained and marched down a dark road by an angry mob. I find the ascetic of the video to be mysteriously beautiful and invocative of a dark history.
I would love to hear your opinions below.
Blessed Be,
Scarlet
