The aesthetics of the eldritch

In the dark grey skies of spring showers, out of the sun, one song that really defied my expectations was "Haunted" with its eerie, lovely vibe. It's unlike the rest of Beyonce's music, at least in my opinion, and has an almost bhangra or M.I.A. type edge. It's quite an incredible piece, and the music video is beautiful.

The first time I saw it I immediately stopped what I was doing and played it again. The video  has is really unnerving in an excellent, aesthetic way.
