Pitchfork: Video: Thom Yorke: "Harrowdown Hill"

In an interview with the BBC last June, Thom Yorke described The Eraser track "Harrowdown Hill" as the "angriest song I've ever written in my life". Just short of the track's single release (August 21 on XL Recordings), the music video for "Harrowdown Hill" has been released, and it's more haunting than both Gastly and Haunter (the creepiest of Pokémon) combined.

The number, named after the Oxfordshire location where the body of scientist Dr. David Kelly was discovered in 2003, is teamed with an eerily beautiful video that zones in on bird imagery (including bird's eye views of both the countryside and city) and hazy war/riot footage. In a particularly interesting scene ("It was a slippery, slippery, slippery slope. I feel me slipping in an out of consciousness"), Yorke dives underwater, releasing air and letting go in an implied drowning.
