"As we all know, we are living in a world within another. A place of specific curation and design where the mind is the chief architect in command. I often wonder who the mind is working for? Who is behind the curtain pulling the strings and transmitting the messages?" - Angelo De Augustine

Murray, who also made the dreamlike video for the last single, "The Ballad of Betty and Barney Hill," explains: "'Toil and Trouble' takes place in a dusty room alight with magic, tucked away but teeming with magic. Flying pop-up books and a singing cauldron give birth to mystical creatures, tapped into a sorcery seemingly both wicked and holy."
