Ariel Pink, in tattered chainmail, riding a horse while swinging a dagger over his head: This is something you obviously need to see for yourself. Last month, Pink and longtime collaborator Weyes Blood teamed up for a full collaborative EP called Myths 002. Today, they share the absolutely bizarre video for the EP track "Tears On Fire," which seems to feature Pink as a knight and Weyes Blood as a witch who wails in front of a bonfire. Also, there's a Mexican cowboy in there? I don't even know, man. Charlotte Linden Ercoli Coe directed the video, and it has a grainy, muddy cinematography that recalls John Boorman's Excalibur and the other medieval epics of the '70s and early '80s. Check it out below, via Pitchfork.
