"The White One Is Evil" is the third single from York-based rock band Elliot Minor. It was released on 29 October 2007. [1]
Alex Davies wrote the music,with lyrics by Alex and Ed Minton.
The video,directed by Corin Hardy, [2] shows the band playing in an eerie woodland late at night with macabre characters. Two of the characters hold a chest from which another appears,a woman with a horse's head,followed by a bright,desert-like setting where Alex Davies (lead vocals) plays while a winged woman dances around him,with the two hunchbacked characters also present. A meal then takes place between the woman,who no longer wears the horse's head but a mask,and a masked man. The two hunchbacks then return and take her away. The band is then seen playing again,and the video brightens while Alex plays the end melody on a grand piano. [3] In the extended version of the video,the studio the video has been filmed in can be seen as the camera pans out. [4]
The video uses the radio edit of the song;the album includes the song in its entirety.
"The White One Is Evil" reached number 24 in the mid-week chart position but climbed no higher,and by the Official Chart Show,was announced at number 27. By the following week,it had dropped to number 64.
