Pitchfork.tv: Benoît Pioulard: "Ragged Tint" [Video Premiere]
Pitchfork: Today October 7, 2008 1:15 PM
A mysterious and compelling video for a song from the mysterious and compelling Benoît Pioulard (the recording project of Thomas Meluch-- we had his "Brown Bess" here on Forkcast earlier). "Ragged Tint" as a song hints a certain desperation beneath Meluch's velvety purr of a voice, with its rapidly plucked chords and steady forward movement, and the video picks up on the underlying anxiety. A figure (Meluch) wanders through fields, comes upon a strange house, and unearths a magical box of some sort. Director Ryan Jeffery knows how to set the scene.
