Woodsmen Film Live Performance For Terroreyes TV


Out of Denver, Colorado come Woodsmen, an experimental ambient post-psychedelic (their genre, not mine) quartet. Featuring “totemic percussionists and two sonic animators who employ electric guitars, feedback loops, and recorded samples to build the dreamy astral soundscapes that define Woodsman’s sound.” While traveling up and down the West Coast, Woodsman stopped by Terroreyes TV in Sacramento to perform “Insects” from their upcoming album Rare Forms, out 1/25 via Lefse Records and Fire Talk Records.

Earlier this year Lefse Records released their Mystery Tape EP, and will follow it up in January with their Rare Forms full length from which “Insects” is drawn.  Heavily influenced by hazy mountain passes, the cinema of Stan Brakhage, and early 1970’s improvisational recordings by Miles Davis.  Woodsman has crafted aural offerings that are uniquely their own.

Gorillaz Take A Hipster Infused Submarine Ride


Gorillaz has recently debuted their new video “Doncamatic” on MySpace. The selection of “Doncamatic” as a single was peculiar, given that guest performer Daley is responsible for nearly all of the song’s vocals, and the video is equally odd. The video finds Daley piloting a submarine through turbulent waters, before eventually finding his way to the “plastic beach.” Check it out down below.

Get Some of Lykke Li In New Video


I don’t know about you guys but, when I first heard the debut single from Lykke Li’s new album, I began to eagerly anticipate the release of its accompanying video. After all, the song was entitled “Get Some.”

Yesterday, that video arrived via PitchFork. But, its not at all what I was expecting. Absent is the innate sexuality of the song. In its place is an almost cult-like call to arms. Check out the slightly disappointing video down below, along with Li’s upcoming tour dates.

Nobody Gets Spoon But You


Spoon are releasing another song from their critical and commercial darling Transference, which came out earlier this year.

This time, the track getting the visual treatment is “Nobody Gets Me But You” a classic Spoon track that features amazingly catchy rhythms (as always) and a raw, stripped-down sound that adds grit.

The video is also appropriately low-tech. Britt Daniels explains that it is influenced from his experience at New York’s Cake Shop, which is a less than ideal concert locale. The video is filmed as if you are watching the band on the TV by the bar.

Check out “Nobody Gets Me But You” right here!
