We rather like Rivkah Gevinson‘s animation in this new Stealing Sheep video, it’s cute but there is also something a little unsettling in the faceless, stop-animated dolls. The same can be said for the Liverpudlian folktronica trio really, the banshee harmonies of ‘Shut Eye’ are sweet but blended with just enough lo-fi mystique and psychedelica to keep things from the overly saccharine.
This is the first single to be taken from their debut full length album Into The Diamond Sun, due out on Heavenly Recordings this summer.
Stealing Sheep will be heading out on Best Fit’s very own tour this June.
