Dougal Wilson. If you like that video you might also like this one, which he had nothing to do with but which makes for a nice companion piece.

If you dig deeper into Bat For Lashes this song and video are actually disturbing, in that the original version of this song had no “beat & bass”, and I’ve yet to ever again see her in a Lily Allen’ish getup. If you watch her performing the original song you can tell her heart’s in it, something about this version seems highly marketed. Not to mention the Donnie Darko ripoffs. I admit it sounds good and looks great, but I guess it loses some of its magic when it reveals itself to be a marketing pastiche….maybe I’m wrong and she’s really really into this/the beats were all her idea.
