Warpaint

Warpaint: Elephants [Video]

I’m not typically one to enjoy your run-of-the-mill music video that merely shows the band performing, but it’s hard to not like this video. Warpaint consists of three quite attractive ladies who like to perform in the most seductive of ways, and who are supported by an outstanding percussionist. Put that theme to excellent shoegaze mixed by the one and only John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and that’s a mix anyone should be able to get into.

Lê Almeida: Nunca Nunca [Video]

le-almeida

Fuzz, noise, pop. Foreign excellence as it pertains to indie pop creation. Lê Almeida‘s music drops in an upbeat 90s indie rock sound with a punchy beat. Their video for “Nunca Nunca” is your standard hipster pop jam – band members on bikes wear cardboard masks, the drummer is a machine (literal, not actual). Fronted by Lê Almeida’s native Portuguese tongue, a special sort of excellence is achieved. Read More »Lê Almeida: Nunca Nunca [Video]

Death Cab For Cutie Sub Pop Singles Club

Death Cab For Cutie: Sub Pop Singles Club [Cover Art]

This is, undoubtedly, the most metal side of Death Cab For Cutie you will ever see. Released around the turn of the century puts this unique 7-inch closer to the group’s beginning than today, and was pre-dated (in Barsuk standards) only by Something About Airplanes, though the single was released in March 2000 to coincide with the release of We Have The Facts And We’re Voting Yes.

Woodlands Band

The Woodlands: Can We Stay [Video]

Typically, the best music videos have a storyline. It’s not necessarily a plot insofar as it lacks the standard plot narrative. Not always. “Can We Stay” by The Woodlands, however, has a plot. There’s an introduction, action is taken to resolve a problem. A solution (the climax, if you will) is reached, and things wrap up in the end.

The story follows a couple, The Woodlands, as they discover a 1950s van, clean the inside, and make it into a cute little place. It’s a simple narrative, but it works with the light indie-pop The Woodlands create.

Animal Collective: Brother Sport [Video]

animal-collective

I recently stated an opinion, that being that I felt Animal Collective was becoming a bit more accessible. True to an artist like Animal Collective, you never really know what to expect. That is absolutely the case with their new “Brother Sport” video, which throws in all the bizarre elements you’d expect from the early Animal Collective while putting it to one of their top tunes off Merriweather Post Pavilion.

Pascal Bizet: Sans Doute [Video]

pascal-bizet

Without being overly upbeat, Pascal Bizet finds a comforting middle ground between highly catchy pop melodies and overtly melancholy emotive vocals. “Sans Doute” is the perfect example of this seemingly patched pair of musical opposites. The video, filmed on Super 8, follows suit; borderline disturbing yet filled with a mystic sort of beauty. Bizet sings in his native French tongue – though I don’t understand a word, I can feel pain and despair hiding behind the strained vocals. Read More »Pascal Bizet: Sans Doute [Video]

Lars Ludvig Löfgren

Lars Ludvig Löfgren: Heterochromia [Album Review]

There’s something a little off-kilter about Lars Ludvig Löfgren and his album Heterochromia. With a base that encompasses a fairly common pop sound, he adds in an indistinct oddity that you might not notice right off the bat; it’s a trait that works well with the album title. Löfgren’s music fits the upbeat nature of pop, but often finds the beats lagging slightly, at least early on. “Canadian Maple Leafs” and “Across Your House” open the album on a laid-back note before “Round Your Heart” removes any preconceptions about the band. The song is unquestionably catchy.

Le Man Avec Les Lunettes: I Can’t Get Anything [Video]

le-man-avec-les-lunettes

Cast on a backdrop of emotive strings and smokey female vocals, this video for “I Can’t Get Anything” by Italy’s Le Man Avec Les Lunettes is simple but intriguing. Little explosions in the background divert attention and match the entrance of percussion, while a meaningful quip arises via subtitles on occasion. The concept is quite unique, but it works well with the song. Le Man Avec Les Lunettes produces quite catchy orchestral indie pop of the super upbeat nature.
