Hold Your Horses
Hold Your Horses came to my attention by one of the bookers at Danger Danger Gallery – one of Philly’s best DIY venues- and after seeing this video I’m super bummed I missed seeing the French band’s stop in Philly a few weeks ago. This is one of the coolest premises for a music video I have seen in a long while, the group recreates classic paintings while performing the totally addictive track “70 Million.” The art major in me had a lot of fun trying to place the inspiration for each of the poses. Even if you don’t know your art history its a fully enjoyable video.

The Red Balloon was one of my favorite movies as a child and I absolutely adore that Wild Nothing gave their video for Chinatown the same French 70′s vibe. The dream pop group’s music is heavily rooted in a nostalgic sound; lo fi guitars drenched in echoey vocals is their hallmark. Their strength lies in their humble approach, they’re not trying to psyche it out or give it a coating of synth, they’re simply trying to craft the same quality music of their musical fore bearers. The group will be opening for Stars on their fall tour, including a stop in Philly on September 30th.

And finally, this has nothing to do with music but it is incredibly delightful. I introduce to you, Marcel the shell.
