Billboard’s 10 Best Music Videos of 2016: Number 9
We’re celebrating the past year in music videos! Billboard recently published their list of the 10 Best Music Videos of 2016. We’re sharing that list here.
Yesterday, we posted Rihanna’s hardcore “Needed Me” video. Today it’s Radiohead’s “Burn the Witch.” Creepy stop-motion animation ahead!
From Billboard:
9. Radiohead, “Burn the Witch”
From Wallace and Gromit to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, stop-motion animation tends to look precious and adorable by default. So a stop-motion story of a quaint British village coming together to burn a woman at the stake Wicker Man-style is a particularly memorable and unsettling visual — particularly during a year when bandwagon pitchfork-wielding seems to have enjoyed a worldwide resurgence.
