Chicago post-punk act Bellhead mark the release of their video debut “Unicorn Bones” with a black & white twisted tale of love, death, and a bit of the old William (Burroughs) Tell and Joan Vollmer packing a beat poet inspired punch to both the winding and buoyant rhythm and cadence that drive the guitars and gravelly vocals.
The clip for “Unicorn Bones” was Directed and edited by John Weaver, and so the story goes:
“Once was a Widow Maker, Fell in Love with an Undertaker, Though the Love was Unrequited, One day to be United”.
“Sometimes Death is not an acceptable answer no matter how impossible it may seem. When one rules out the possible, the impossible is all the remains. Would you seek the Bones of a Unicorn to Never be Alone? A Necromancer? An Alchemist? And a Topless Dancer?”
Watch the video for “Unicorn Bones”, with an admitted nod to both Killing Joke and Magazine, below:
