Video catch-up: The Staves

I wrote about The Staves' crisp, autumnal new single Blood I Bled when it premiered a month ago and age has only improved it - like a fine wine, a mature brie or Morgan Freeman's face.

Today, the band unveiled a video "inspired by an amazing trip to India". It doesn't feature Emily, Jessica or Camilla at all (unless there was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo that I blinked and missed) but it is a beautifully evocative film clip, full of sorrow, joy, euphoria, humanity and beauty. And dancing.

One of those rare instances where an entirely unrelated set of images enhances a song endlessly.
