Abigail Lapell embraces the moment in the live performance for her new single Flowers In My Hair. Featuring Great Lake Swimmers & Minuscule, the performance is immortalized in a gorgeous companion video.
Channeling the aura of traditional hymnals and spirituals, the Canadien folk performer recalls treasured Americana on this collective triumph. There’s a feeling of community to this work that mirrors this musics humble origins. This is a sacred aura, and Lapell and her mates present it proper.
You’ve heard it, but you haven’t heard it like this. Tommee Profitt reimagines the Linkin Park classic Numb elegantly. He adapts it with a classical arrangement suitable for Carnegie Hall. Even more, he enlists none other than Skylar Grey on vocals. The collaboration is instantly legendary, and the backstory equally graceful. Grey herself has a connection to Linkin Park both as a collaborater and as an artist who the band championed as a member of their Machine Shop Recordings label.
The re-work is featured on Profitt’s new album Covers, Vol. 2. From Ave Maria, to Smells Like Teen Spirit, to Mad World; the album features a diverse track list that resonates with the modern music lovers expansive palette. Get into the video now, it’s a masterpiece.
It gets weird fast and that’s why we love it. Check out the new video for There’s A Spirit Moving In Your House from King Black Acid. The title helps piece this narrative together. The storyline features conceptual spirits that haunt the main character.
Actually, whether its a healing or a haunting isn’t entirely clear, but one things for certain, this band freakin rocks. The video works in how it reflects their eccentric excitably, and also how it keeps you intrigued. By any standards this is just a great rock song, so if the video works to get your attention, we’re all for it. Stylistically it reflects an influence of The Pixies, Broken Social Scene, and Arcade Fire. Dig it.
If you think the video for the single Glowworm is visually bright, well you’d be fair to assume that it’s by design. The video for the new single from Foreign Fields aims to conjure its namesake visually. Beyond the title, it also reflects the songs aura. The vocal is fairly tempered, but the band plays with a conviction that suggests they’re all in on this moment.
We dig that kind of contrast. It’s enhanced by vibrant textured tones on whats all around a superb mixing effort. Stylistically we think it’s a sure thing for fans of Ben Howard and Del Water Gap. The band also connects with the works of Jose Gonzalez and James Vincent McMorrow. Get into the video, it’s a great display of their passion for their work.
