Ryn Weaver - “Octahate” Video (Version 2)

As much as I love the Brontë sisters, the mansions of their Victorian-era moors aren’t a place that anyone would ever dream of escaping to. They’re haunted and glum, and if you’re a woman, totally oppressive. Whether or not it takes place in England, Ryn Weaver’s new video for her massive 2014 summer single “OctaHate” features the singer wreaking havoc on the likeness of one of these massive, seemingly abandoned homes. She rushes into the central ballroom with a friend in tow, before they dance atop the table of an exquisite banquet. Weaver’s forthcoming album is titled The Fool, which makes the closing scene’s absurdity and resemblance to Alice In Wonderland‘s Mad Tea Party all the more pertinent.
