Eleanor Friedberger, 50% of the brother/sister duo Fiery Furnaces, has a distinct weirdness about her. Her straight-faced demeanor about everything makes me think that if she turned out to be a witchcraft practicing, pickpocketing felon, I wouldn't be too surprised. That's what she admits to in her newest video "Heaven," from (last summer's)
Last Summer.
Watch as she rolls dice, tosses back whiskey, macks a dude out of his wallet, and gets touched by the hand of death. All set to a uplifting headbopper! The funny, mildly satanic video undercuts "Heaven," proving that a good music video can add a lot to an already great song.
