The group is called Ocelli. They are from Portland Oregon.

This is so melancholy "Simon and Garfunkel," of current time.

[voltaman33]

One of the coolest things I have ever seen.

[TheMonkeyDidIt]

The placard near the electric chair that reads, "They Kill people who have killed people to show other killers that killing is WRONG" is a liner note to the great human song. Yet another brilliant master work from the Castiron Carousel Marionette Troupe who've now introduced me to the music of Ocelli. Thanks for the great video post

[mrretrovampire]

a very creative fresh spin and affectionate return to the dying art of the classic marionette.scareyonettes

[bustedpuppet]
