Eternal Summers Premiere Video and Remix of “Pogo”

The Virginians of Eternal Summers are taking over the Internet with their single “Pogo,” off their album Silver, out now on Kanine Records. They premiered the lo-fi, psychedelic video for the song on the almighty Pitchfork, while an Allen Blickle remix of it made its appearance on the equally revered mp3 blog Stereogum. And while the flashing colors and image overlays of the video match well with the song’s retro-pop feel, the electro arrangement Allen Blickle put together for the remix, with its powerful bass puts forth Yun’s voice.

So, to watch the video, click HERE. And to listen to the remix, click HERE.

Band of Horses Hit Up Austin City Limits

Band Of Horses played Austin City Limits this past October as part of the Austin City Limits festival. The performance was recorded and now has a date to air.

You can see the Grammy-nominated band on January 15th on local PBS stations. The performance is one of the last to be played on the original Austin City Limits stage and features material from all three of the band’s albums: Cease To Begin, Everything All The Time, and the Grammy-nominated Infinite Arms.

Look for Band of Horses on ACL this January. In case you haven’t heard this song (it’s been everywhere) enjoy.

New Tracks From Young Man

This past week saw the release of some new music from Colin Caulfield and his band Young Man.  The tracks are part of the single called “Strangers” which was an outtake from the band’s Boy EP which was released earlier this year.  Although Boy was released earlier this year on Frenchkiss Records, “Strangers” was not recorded until recently.    

“Strangers” premiered on My Old Kentucky Blog recently, and Web site I Guess I’m Floating featured the song’s remix, done by NY-based remixer Phil Tortoroli, also known as The Great Red Shark, last Tuesday.  Young Man also debuted the video for the song “Up So Fast”, a lovely song about the joys of growing up, on AOL Spinner.
