In which Peter Jackson’s Meet the Feebles meets Michel Gondry’s celestial surrealism on Björk single “Crystalline”, here’s the new Bat for Lashes video off The Haunted Man. Natasha Khan and a cast of monster-puppets star in the clip for album opener “Lilies.” Whereas “Laura” told a bittersweet tale of aging in the spotlight, this one finds no discernible narrative beyond pairing off-kilter imagery worthy of the cut. Either way, both videos and songs are highlights from the record so far. Watch director Peter Sluszka’s treatment above.
