Is there anything more terrifying than dancing paper silhouette puppets? No there isn’t, which is why this video from Brighton’s Woodpecker Wooliams makes for a pretty tough watch, but that shouldn’t detract from the really very cool song contained within. Gemma Williams has been compared to a ‘homicidal Disney heroine, singing songs of violence and desire’ and her new album, The Bird School of Being Human, is available now through Robot Elephant Records. Catch her at the Union Chapel for a lunchtime show, October 13.
