As promised, “Carrie Jean” completes a trilogy of videos for the three songs on Sic Alps‘ 12″ She’s On Top, out now on Drag City. “Carrie Jean” is just one more reminder of why Mike Donovan is one of the finest around for writing punked-up jangle-pop with psychedelic flare, and one senses in listening to the music that Donovan’s poetically-styled lyrics are often the center-piece of his songs. Director William Francis-Bashore Keihn returns with his third 8mm inspired video, this one highlighting the poetic quality of Donovan’s work with shots of a typewriter typing the lyrics, and other cryptic ephemera about Prison Queen Carrie Jean!
