The Cave Singers - Black Leaf

Video for "Black Leaf" by the Cave Singers' Jagjaguwar release "No Witch." Directed by Sam Macon.

On “Black Leaf,” The Cave Singers lock into a country-blues groove and stay there for just over three minutes. It’s a propulsive track, which we might call Roadhouse Motorik.

The music video is well-directed, with some young kids escaping their homes by tied sheets, then taking off on a trek to the snowy environs of their village to do battle with a wicker monster of sorts. It has a vague “Where the Wild Things” vibe to it, but with Peter Quirk’s old school vocals instead of Karen O’s squawking.
