We already know Willis Earl Beal has a knack for songwriting. As the video for “Evening’s Kill” illustrates, the Chicago native is also a skilled animator. Though simple in nature, the self-directed clip stays true to the song’s lyrics, depicting Beale’s unfulfilled infatuation with a waitress at a local diner. Watch it below.

Beal’s debut LP, Acousmatic Sorcery, arrives April 3rd via Hot Charity/XL Recordings.
