Back with a 4th single and another new video ahead of their debut album and ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES latest is more than just a seasonal HALLOWEEN track destined for #electroswing playlists. DANCING WITH THE DEVIL is an impeccably crafted Klezmer-influenced dark folk-tale that beautifully showcases the girls' tight vocal harmonies, accomplished backing band and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Not to mention their glorious vintage aesthetic.
PLEASE NOTE: This video contains some flashing black and white imagery which some viewers may find triggering!
With its sinuous clarinet line, the story-telling of the twin verse structure unexpectedly gives way to a wicked double time swing chorus showing off a little jazz sophistication behind the cautionary tale of dealings with a devilish ne'er do well. Joining the 5-piece on their new video is our old TikTok friend and collaborator, the hugely talented @toodlenoodle86 #originalpuppeteers - with a Black and White video that variously references Tim Burton, Victorian music hall, puppet theatre, silent film, a sinister pinocchio and so much more...
