CocoRosie – “Child Bride” (Official Video)

“Child Bride,” from CocoRosie’s new album Tales Of A Grass Widow, is a deeply discomfiting number, sung from the point of view of a little kid who’s getting ready for her new husband. The gorgeous-looking new video, directed by Emma Freeman, turns the song into something even harder to take, simply by depicting the song’s lyrics in clear visual language. The clip shows us a little girl being wedded off to a much older man in some sort of druidic ritual, and even though it’s pretty literal, it’s way freakier than, for instance, CocoRosie’s characteristically freaky “After The Afterlife” video.
