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!

Tape The Radio Give Away A Track

 

Tape the Radio is feeling generous, and that’s good for you.

The band is giving away their b-side song “Suffer You, Suffer Me” from their recent single Our Love Is A Broken Heart. The download will cost you some time, because you need to register with Nokia’s new music website Ovi Music.

If you want to hear the single off…the single, you can listen to “Our Love Is A Broken Heart” right here as well.

The band has also just returned from Italy. If you’re feeling a tad jealous, watch their video diary. It may make you a little more jealous but it’s also awesome. You can find it here.

The Good Old War Release Video For “That’s Some Dream”

The Pennsylvania indie-folk male trio, Good Old War, follows up their debut album Only Way to be Alone with the self titled offering featuring a music video from the single “That’s Some Dream.”

The dream, the song and the video all hold a simple theme: living, dying, and being alright with both. The video tells the story of a self discovering journey with like-minded companions. In this case, the journey is a tour and the companions are band mates, and it’s as straightforward as it is poignant.

It’s damn hooky and with a little Paul Simon inspired non-lyrical vocal addition to the chorus (you’ll have to listen to hear what I mean), the song is so damn likeable that you’ll be listening to it more than once in a sitting. As far as the video journal that is the accompanying music video, the personal and endearing nature will make you feel all warm inside.
