And It Was Night Bets Against the Devil in Video for Dark Noir Pop Single The Fever

And It Was Night’s video for The Fever presents a morality play about addiction and temptation set in Las Vegas. Composer and sound designer Rani Sharone plays both a gambler and the Devil, performing against custom animated projections inspired by The Shining and Creepshow. The song blends influences from Depeche Mode, Danny Elfman, The Cure, and Nick Cave into what Sharone calls Dark Noir Pop. Rather than literally adapting the Twilight Zone episode that inspired it, Sharone created a theatrical production within budgetary constraints, using the dual role to suggest gambler and tempter as expressions of the same compulsion. The video screened at El Cid in Los Angeles on October 2.
