Grizzly Bear: “While You Wait For The Others” (Video)

I heard about this on the radio this morning (and via a bunch of blogs). It is as amazing as you imagine it would be. I love the sound Gizzly Bear have honed in on - copious attention to melody, near-excessive delay/reverb, and lush vocal harmonies. Watch and let it wash over you.

Great Dunks from Davis and Kemp

Rise

My friend Garret just posted two rad videos to his blog. The first is a short film he shot that is raw as hell and has some absolutely beautiful shots in it. The second is some experimental footage he shot and placed over “Symbiosis” as a test run and it blows my mind.

The Franks: “Common Consensus” MP3

The Franks is a band I am in with Sarah and my BFF Colin. We are a rock band. This is quite different from Superhumanoids but I love it. It is a lot more liberating. I play bass, Colin guitar/vox, and Sarah drums. Check it out (CC BY-NC):
