Little Hag lets you into the madness in the video for their new single Oops!. Some of us are ready to have fun again, and this is some great Rock and Roll energy. Counter culture is alive and well in this inspired DIY portrait.
There’s a vibe to these images that suggests an influence of the movie Kids, but in a way where The Kids have grown up and are at a crossroads between moving on and holding on to their youth. So you can imaging there’s some skate boarding and an existential philosophical aura to not take life seriously. There’s also some humorous sex appeal. Little Hag seems generally excited to tease you. Let’s keep it fun.
We love how Koshari flaunts their ability in the performance video for their new single Fly. The energy and their brilliance as a tight calculated unit shines through. Every member brings something interesting to the song.
The guitar work is beautifully expressive while the bass player accents all the right moments. The drums find balance between swing and pump, while the singer adds a hypnotic glue to tie it all together. Stylistically they bridge the gap between Shoegaze and Bends era Radiohead. We’re into it.
Schools out for summer. The new video from The Hellp suggests schools out forever. If this were a full length film we’d be watching shamelessly. Somewhere between Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Hangover, the video for Caustic is filled with adventure and hijinks. It’s’ that last inkling of youth, complete with subtle suggestions that for some the party went too far.
Full disclosure, there’s some considerable implied drug use and some dangerously reckless behavior. Maybe don’t do all that. I mean, would you do everything you saw in The Hangover? Just be entertained, it’s a joke yo. Also, its probably the only Hyperpop song we’ve ever liked. The jawn is catchy. Get nutty.
You’ve got to love what’s happening over at The Cardboard Sessions. A team of environmentally minded engineers are pushing the boundaries of cardboard recycling by innovating instruments and using cardboard where the wood usually is. They’ve made drums, guitar, bass guitars, and even pianos. They also have a film series that features some notable musicians experimenting with their instruments.
A recent episode features indie music pioneer Pete Yorn. The excitement in Pete Yorn’s voice when he meets each Cardboard instrument is an automatic mood enhancer. Even more, you get some in studio footage and rare insight into the songwriters process. Check it out.
