Watch Murder by Death’s Moving ‘Lost River’ Video

Murder By Death

Though Murder By Death’s latest music video is not for the Disney crowd, the clip for “Lost River,” a highlight off the veteran Indiana outfit’s 2012 Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon LP, does function as an animated short film. It opens with our hero floating helplessly underwater, longing for his lady love. Cut to the female lead, who sees a vision of her man trapped beneath the lost river. She takes a dive and finds her guy, but the freshwater-crossed lovers see a tragic end. Think of it as a grim, gothic companion to the Oscar-nominated Paperman short.

Watch the video, which was directed by Gabe Darling of O’Death, above and find Murder By Death’s tour dates below.
