Well I can’t get enough of American indie of late.
‘Catapilah’
*EDIT* Previous video replaced by ‘non violating one’. I’m pretty sick of Youtube and it’s ‘laws’ and ‘honesty’. You wouldn’t get that with Vimeo… Anyway, here’s another song:
‘New Beat’.
I’ve decided to stop trying to fight it and embrace the cool band for their 15 minutes. When/if they hit radio 1, they will naturally be dead to me however. Edith Bowman has that effect on everybody right?
*DOUBLE EDIT* Zane Lowe played them on Radio 1 last week (late October). Did you know (according to a tiny sign I read in the Sheffield branch of Size?) Zane Lowe wears New Balance footwear because he thinks the ‘N’ looks like a ‘Z’. He is a certified tool. So anyway not to go off on a tangent too much…
They sound like the kind of band Spike Jonze could probably use in some affiliated project (in my head anyway) so they’re well on their way to fame of some level (i’m talking Beach House proportions here people)*. Also, one member of the band is called Jim Barrett (a fellow Barrett, just like Syd and myself). I suspect he must be the brains of the outfit.
Go here for more musical stylings.
*I’m using masses of sarcasm to mask the fact I actually really like both of these bands.
