Hello, Friday. Seems like it's been ages.
Ordinarily, we'll probably use this space to send you off with a random batch of free music, just in case you haven't come across it elsewhere. This week, however, we've got all of these videos piling up around the place and thought we'd clear a few out to begin with. Still a fairly random five, in other words, just more demanding of your senses.
First up: Hot Chip. The London-based act releases their new album, One Life Stand, next Tuesday. They played the title track-- with The Roots in tow!-- on last night's Jimmy Fallon.
All over the musical blogosphere today is Spoon's new video for "Written in Reverse." Shot in a cool, crisp black-&-white that mirrors the music on the new album Transference, the piece is of the fly-on-the-wall-of-the-practice-space variety.
Finally on the V side of A/V, and not exactly random, is the new video for St. Vincent's "Laughing With a Mouth of Blood." Comedy = Laughing, see? So the video guest stars comedy duo thunderAnt (aka Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein). St. Vincent, of course, plays two shows at the Doug Fir Saturday night-- all ages at 5pm and 21+ at 9. Here's a prelude. Oh, and here's the video.
And your audio....
►The Tallest Man On Earth, from The Wild Hunt (out 4/13)- "King of Spain"
►A Weather, from Everyday Balloons (out 3/2)- "Giant Stairs"
And a bonus! Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings release I Learned the Hard Way in April and you know you better go get the title track!
To the weekend, then...
