Dead Horses, the Appleton/Milwaukee (oh let’s just say Wisconsin) folk-scene mainstays dazzle again with their new song and accompanying video, “Ain’t Got Time.” One of the first recordings to feature the new three-member configuration, the video features pensive stares and glares in a dusty attic, and a good dose of fire and smoke. After some southern-swing inspired verses paired with worn and dirtied imagery, a river of flames dances during the blistering guitar-driven bridge as the song steamrolls to the end.

West coast based 1955 brings us a great video for the lead single, “Upside Down”, from their forthcoming The French Had A Name For It.  The video features a frantic race to a dreary poolside party attended only by a few whiskey-drinking, business-casual men which reflects the songs frantic but polished aesthetic. The climax features an underwater shot of a jump into the pool – a really clever literal translation of the song’s title.

Another Friday, another fun video. This one revolves around shadows, using a set that was created from cardboard, lamps and a bed-sheet, with the band only making an appearance in the last act. The song is “Just After Dark”, the catchy lead single off of The Bandicoots upcoming EP, produced by The Black Keys’ producer, Brian Lucey.

T-Pain, Tiny Desk, Happy Haloween

I-m-On-A-Boat-Ft-T-Pain-the-lonely-island-21301364-913-514

This Halloween T-Pain has removed his (autotune) mask. Last night I was clicking around  the interwebs and stumbled across a new Tiny Desk concert featuring the one and only T-Pain. I’m not entirely sure that I had ever heard his non-vocoded voice. The result is beautiful. He is accompanied by Toro, who takes the minimalist approach to backing keyboard. If I had one word to describe the usually swagger filled T-Pain, it would be vulnerable.
