Lily & Madeleine Channel 'Stranger Things' In Creepy New Video

The sweetly innocent folk-pop duo Lily & Madeleine take a disturbingly dark turn in their new video for the song "Westfield." After a brief credits sequence that apes the Netflix series Stranger Things, the sisters find themselves running from two shadowy predators on a foggy night. "Westfield, dark and blue," they sing while trying to escape. "Always keep your cool. Feeling out in the open, always keep your cool."

The video, which plays like a teen-horror flick, has a particularly unsettling and surprising end, just in time for the Halloween season.

The video was directed by Sami Mustaklem and Alex Kosene. "Westfield" is from Lily & Madeleine's latest album, Keep It Together.
