THE VIDEOS THAT MADE MY WEEK
#1 GUARDS Resolution of One
Without a doubt one of my favorite bands. This live living room performance is just another reason to love them. So much more than just dream pop Americana, their sound incorporates, grunge, rock, folk, and soul while maintaining a simplicity that awe-inspiring.
Guards reminds me of that movie Pleasantville. Life in a 1950’s black and...

#2 M+A Bam
Been diggin’ on M+A’s infectious brand of electro pop lullabies for quite some time. You can hear it in their music, their videos, even the artwork for their album is meticulously crafted with care and purpose. The more I listen to these guys, the more I want to listen. Cool vid too.
The Italian duo just dropped their record...

#3 WOWSER BOWSER Water Story
Atlanta, GA’s southern fried indie rockers have some killer harmonies. I love the use of the piano and trumpet too. This live recording/video for “Water Story” is pretty incredible. Nice lil’ glimpse into the every day life of the band. These guys are great.

#4 SHELLS Arctic
This track is so god damn catchy. I imagine this is what a baby’s world is like. Sparkling electronic bells and xylophones with perfectly placed samples to create a warmth that is surrounded by twinkling colors and lights. I would have put this vid in my top three, but I despise found images, and the video is pretty lame.

#6 PARENTHETICAL GIRLS The Privilege
The video for the track “The Privilege” is off of the fourth installment of Parenthetical Girls mail order only, four song EP series. They run a limited edition of 500 copies, that are hand numbered in the blood of one of the band members, this one being the blood of Amber Smith. I love these Portlandites because they...

“Brendan Canty Is My Homeboy”

Gathered Ghosts Feels Like Nothing
Washington’s Gathered Ghosts is super fuzzy shoegaze love songs, heart wrenching melodies, sadness wallowing, guitar riffs that tickle the hairs on the back of your neck, all in such a subtle way you won’t notice the amount of emotion creeping over until it’s too late.
Somewhere between Tears for Fears, The Cure, Conor Oberst, and well Craft...
