Manchester Orchestra releases one more act. If you have no clue of what I’m talking about, click here.

Director’s note:

“Our hero’s attempt to end it all has only led to her being thrust deeper into this alternate dimension. She lands in a baron wasteland devoid of life or hope. This new purgatory transforms her into a specter, doomed to wander alone indefinitely. Ultimately she finds hidden jewels, that reveal the lives and memories of those before her. Empowered by this discovery, she is awakened to her own powers. She summons swirling storms of energy that rip at the fabric of the surroundings and take us back to the carnival where our journey began. The fortune teller reveals that her entire journey was in the cards laid before her. Yet in a cruel twist of fate, our hero succumbs to a darker power and becomes the fortune teller.”
