Moon Bounce - Telephone

It was a real treat to receive Corey Regensburg’s new track in my inbox last night, along with his homegrown accompanying video. Like most of his sounds, it’s got that sharp acoustic intrumental feel with a serge of harsh electronic samples behind the pitchy/looped broken up vocals. There’s just so much going for me on this track right now. 

And the video? Boy. Erratic dancing with styled camera work = some pretty bang-up stuff. You can never go wrong with something like that.

Corey’s currently working on a new LP, still yet to be titled, due sometime this Spring. Pick up this single free over at his sndcld.

A Place to Bury Strangers - So Far Away

yvynyl:

You knew that it’s going to get trendy to make a music video entirely out of Hipstamatic/Instagram pics - so better get it while it’s hot.  This one by band member Oliver Ackermann is extremely well done and it helps that he was privvy to ‘life on the road, etc’ to capture all these great shots.

Onwards To the Wall LP will be out on Dead Oceans February 7th.  Catch ‘em on tour w Joy Formidable ‘round the US this winter.

Peanut Butter Lovesicle - Black Eyed Blues

This blues infused, fuzzed out, dirty rock ‘n rock single has an awesome hazy yet professional video to go along with it.

Brooklyn trio Peanut Butter Lovesicle released their single ‘Black Eyed Blues’ back in August, however it’s now making the rounds again thanks to the new rad official video! It features cameos from Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick and Sports Illustrated model Julie Henderson. I’m betting these guys have a kick-ass live show… Directed by Evil Twin - Todd DiCiurcio & Taylor Steele. 

PBL are set to release a new EP in March, so keep yourself updated with their whereabouts and other notable links on their website.

Happy People - “Apt” off HP EP

Just a little ways over the George Washington Bridge, Jersey duo of decade long friends, Steve Ortega and Jeff Widner make up Happy People. Starting in the fall of 2010 through a slightly unconventional method - Ortega would e-mail Widner some acoustic guitar and vocal tracks, and Widner would cut them up a bit, add more instrumental parts and spit out full-band versions of the songs. I haven’t heard anything like it, but if it works, it works.

It’s pretty spectacular that these guys are able to get such a sound, using so many instruments, only between the two of them. This sweet video footage fits so nicely with this reverb intense track. Though I wish I knew who crafted this piece or what film it was taken from…

Anyway, stream their album over at their SoundCloud and be sure to check out their song “Brooklyn,” one of my personal favorites.

Bon Iver - Holocene

Stunning cinematography in this new video filmed in Iceland by Nabil Elderkin. Those landscapes are endlessly breathtaking.

Cults - Go Outside

It’s awesome to see that cults finally put an outstanding official video to their track “Go Outside,” which was released almost a year and a half ago. Premiered on BoingBoing - not your typical remix of old found footage, is it? Directed by Isaiah Seret.

Teebs - Moments

The subtle video work and the use of almost 200 smoke bombs, create this seamlessly smooth never-ending transition. The sweltering vibes move right along with the smoke as it floats from frame to fame. Such a creative, beautiful piece right here.

Frida Selander - Brainy Business (second single off the album “Try Again Baby”)

As much as I’m hesitant to post this video, since it shows scenes of winter, it’s too catchy of a track to pass up for today. Enjoy the cool refresher in the hot month of may. You’re welcome.
