Delta Rae: Bottom of the River

12:24 PM

I 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
