Brillig - The Hearse Song

Brillig and Subconscious Studios proudly present, "The Hearse Song" video clip. Filmed at Old Tailem Town, South Australia, the clip shows just what might happen if a 'gothic folk band' turns up in an unsuspecting turn-of-the-century western town...

From a sheriff to a madam, a surly bandit to some fresh faced children, hardworking washerwomen to fancy burlesque girls, a drunken gypsy and cheeky cowboys - all are in for some twisted times.

Lest the smiles and dancing fool you, beware! Brillig may just have a menacing plan up their sleeve...

The team from Subconscious Studios (Andrew Shanks - Director, Dan Vink - Producer, Dave Gregan - DOP) have brought life to a western folk tale the likes of which you won't forget in a hurry!

"The Hearse Song" track itself is a Halloween + summer camp favourite from old, and Brillig's twist on the popular tune gives it an "Addams Family" groove and folk-pop edge featuring male/female vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, bass, accordion, autoharp and guest drums.

Full credits to be listed on Vimeo and Brillig's Blog soon; watch this space for details. "The Hearse Song" can be downloaded from Brillig's store on Bandcamp (brillig.bandcamp.com)

"Be merry, my friends, be merry!"
