Empty Houses imagines Leerone as the sole attendee at an old woman's funeral. Courtesy of Friedmann and his animated sorcery, viewers are transported away from the graveyard through the spirit-haunted halls of the deceased woman's mansion, where Leerone glimpses scenes from the woman's tragic life. These playback image...s prompt Leerone to reflect on her own life. Eerie, picturesque, and gorgeously realized, Empty Houses makes a poignant visual statement about fate, life, choices and possibilities.

Conceived by Leerone and produced by LA videographer/animator Hank Friedmann—the same boy genius who oversaw Leerones 2008 video Care for some whiskey?—Empty Houses masterfully employs gothic and steampunk sensibilities in support of Leerone and Hank's uncompromising creative ambitions.

Directed by Claire Carré (Brett Dennen, Sia, Rainer Maria), To Fill the Void depicts Leerone as a starry-eyed dishwasher at a roadside diner. The clip culminates with L...eerones workaday character earning a chance to accomplish the most modest of dreams. When asked to fill in for the waitress temporarily, Leerone is thrilled to have a moment to shine! The video was conceived by Leerone and Carré, whose résumé includes directors assistant on the award-winning Patty Jenkins film Monster and was filmed in NYC.

Care for some whiskey? finds Leerone sharing the spotlight with a cast of Claymation friends who accompany the singer on a harrowing adventure. The video marks the ausp...icious world debut of director Hank Friedmann, whose stop-motion clip strikes a surreal balance between flower-power whimsy, impressionistic animation and knife-edged menace. "Care For Some Whiskey" is from Leerone's most recent album titled, Imaginary Biographies, available at www.LeeroneStore.com.
