If you were able to catch Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg live in 2014, you’d know that the song “Master Pretender” was one of the highlights of First Aid Kit’s set – the apex of their alt-country musings on the purpose of life and various other existential questioning set to a dusty desert lilt.

Following a year which included sold-out tour dates across the globe, a performance at the Royal Albert Hall and the release of their critically lauded album “Stay Gold”, they begin 2015 with the release of this track, and with it comes an animated video the band were wonderful at the Nottingham Royal Centre .

Jessica Lea Mayfield the country-rock turned grunge-rocker shows off her matured chops on “Standing In The Sun”—one of the singles from her latest record, Make My Head Sing. The song itself isn’t creepy, scary or spooky, but a melancholy, 90s-tinged, lo-fi rock track; it’s that dichotomy that makes the video that much more intriguing.

Let’s break down the Halloween spirit found in this video: first of all, Mayfield shot this video in a Nashville graveyard, and nothing screams Halloween like a walk among the tombstones. Second of all, that lighting is just haunting. Maybe it’s the violet lights or creepy nighttime shots, but we commend her for being in the graveyard playing tunes so late at night. And finally, with the new pink hair and sultry outfit she’s rocking, it kind of looks like she’s dressed up in costume.
