Nick Bindeman continues his stranglehold on Summer 2011 with Tunnels’ The Blackout

http://www.vimeo.com/26022712

Nick Bindeman owns the summer of 2011. In June, Bindeman released a new record from his band Jackie-O Motherfucker, and then followed it up with a release from his other band, Eternal Tapestry, in July. Now it’s August and Bindeman unleashes another record, this time under the name Tunnels. While Jackie-O […]

White Hills are on top of their game with H-p1

http://www.vimeo.com/24565777

There seems to be only so much you can do with a stoner rock / space rock hybrid sound, but White Hills always seems to push that sound just a little bit further. With their latest album, H-p1, White Hills advance that sound one step more. Over the course of 70 […]

KR Presents: New Old Abram Brown video for “Mountain Lions”

http://www.vimeo.com/22300848

Remember back in the day when I wrote up a grand ol’ artist profile about Old Abram Brown, some youngster New Hampshirites new to the indie music circuit?

Everything about Old Abram Brown screams passion. Carson Lund’s vocals are earnest and emphatic, as if breaking all barriers of viscosity. Piano holds […]

http://www.vimeo.com/21676854

Music videos I love have been popping up with more frequency this past week or so, including Germany Germany’s “Take Me Home,” and now Black Light Dinner Party’s “Older Together.” I’m only familiar with Black Light Dinner Party because it’s a project of a good Knox Road friend, whose […]

[Video + MP3] Germany Germany: “Take Me Home”

http://www.vimeo.com/22354003

I love instrumental songs (in this case, mostly instrumental…) with a story to tell. Even if it’s telling someone else’s story. Such is the case with “Take Me Home”, whose music video is comprised of clips from the independent German film, Marsmädchen, made by Sophia Emmerich. Marsmädchen is almost […]

Radical Face’s new video for “Doorways”

Hear ye! Hear Ye! Radical Face (Ben Cooper) has released the video for “Doorways” from the recently released Touch the Sky EP. Conjuring up images of Peter Pan and, to get a bit personal (as always), my sister and I playing in the wooded area across the street from my childhood home, Cooper and […]

Arcade Fire make a personalized, interactive video for “We Used To Wait”

Well this is something new and different. The Arcade Fire have always been into pushing the themes of their albums and the suburban angst from their latest, The Suburbs, is no more clear than in their new video for “We Used To Wait.” The music video website asks you […]

MGMT’s video for “Congratulations” tells us where stars are born

I think I’m getting used to MGMT videos now. Are they weird, odd, against the grain? Yes. But does that make them bad or unwatchable? Never! I’m sure they represent things that are very deep and meaningful! And visually they’re always interesting and unique! In this one we have our familiar heros traveling through […]

Youngster: RickoLus

“This album is a homage to my youth. I had a wonderful time but I am going somewhere new. Good bye and good riddance…”

– RickoLus via liner notes on Youngster.

I know you’ve been waiting for it (humor me): the third and final installment in Abby’s Youth Series, 2010. Today, if you […]

L.A. based Hands just released the music video for “Hold”, their first official HIT single, which we covered some time ago. The video is a complete reinterpretation of the song. Hands wrote “Hold” with the theme of having a constantly changing perspective on life, whereas the video, conceptualized and directed by two University […]
