Toro Y Moi Premiere “Still Sound” Video And Extend Tour

tym

On February 22nd, Toro Y Moi will be releasing Underneath The Pine on Carpark records and you can now view the video for one of its star tracks, “Still Sound,” which just premiered on Pitchfork. Directed by Steven Daniels, the video is a cute and playful still 8 insight on frontman Chaz Bundick and bandmates goofing around, rehearsing and even dancing. The retro image grain matches the old school r’n’b funk mood of the song and at the same time maintains the hipster image associated with chillwave. You can watch the video HERE.

And just to add to the good news, Toro Y Moi will be extending their Spring tour where they will be joined by Cloud Nothings, Braids, Adventure and Nite Jewel. Make sure to check below to see if they will be coming by your side of the US.

Best Coast Teams Up With I Can Has Cheezburger

Video: Best Coast: "Crazy for You"

For most of us, LOLcats ran its course a couple of years ago. For Best Coast, the fun is just getting started!

In a new video for the song “Crazy for You” (off of their debut album) the band play in a studio run by loud, bossy kittens. They serve “Teaz” and “Coffeez” and there is liberal use of catnip.

You can watch the video below, brought to you by…I Can Has Cheezburger.
