Karen Elson - The Truth is in the Dirt

So last night Karen Elson released a video on Vanity Fair (dot) com for her song "The Truth is in the Dirt" and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest you go over and take a look. The video fits the song perfectly. It's haunting, ethereal, with costumes reminiscent of the 20's and 30's with just the right amount of rock and roll. It has artistic features of a silent film but taking a distinctly different path than M. Ward and Zooey took in "Thieves" (youtube).

It's truly a lovely video. I still don't have the Karen Elson album yet, but now I want it even more!
