Watch the new Bart van der Lee video for Drown In These Arms, a track from his Ballads for the Heathens or Dying album. The stop motion clip was created by Harro van Aalderen:
He used 160 kg of clay, the whole set was made on a table of 1 by 1,5 meter and the whole project was realized in six weeks. His starting point was totally based on intuition, and his main goal was to create a stop motion that would enhance the space of the viewers associations and linkages in relation to the music. His appropriation and additions developed during the making of each shot based on the rhythm, lyrics, melody and the arrangements of the song. The music video unfolds itself before your eyes.Live dates:

HCTF reviews of Bart van der Lee - Ballads for the Heathens or Dying; I am Oak - On Claws and Town of Saints - Something To Fight With.
Singer-songwriter Bart van der Lee sings about fear and not wanting to be alone. His songs always contain shimmer of hope though. No matter how raw and rough he may sound, he wants to be freed from his inner demons. A bit of Nick Cave and a bit of Iggy found their way to this Dutch singer and visual artist who uses his songs as a canvas, adding dabs of musical colour by way of saxophone and violin. A rough diamond that should never be cut.
Ballads for the Heathens or Dying is released through Snowstar Records. Release date: October 4th.
