New Video: “Closer to the Devil” by Saint Clare

Ottawa’s Saint Clare recently released their first music video and it is a ghastly venture to the beat of the lead single “Closer to the Devil” off of their upcoming EPIII.
The video begins beneath the full moon with the brass ensemble setting the stage for the dancing good time that is a Saint Clare song. As the vocals and other instruments join in, the song takes a sombre turn as the darkness works its way in… getting closer to Beelzebub.
The video flows between the band rocking out in an empty room beneath the hew of purple lights to scenes of lead singer and guitarist Matt Saint Clare being chased by a solemn veiled figure in the woods, somewhat similar to the Blair Witch Project. After a face melting solo brings Saint Clare to his knees wrapping up the song, the video pans back to the wood where he finds himself trapped face to face with the figure, only to find out he has been running from himself.
You can watch the video below and catch Saint Clare this Saturday at the House of TARG on the second day of the super groovy and awesome Surf and Turf Festival.
