I’m really feeling the above graphic composite created for a Flagstaff, Arizona based musician called ‘A Cloud for Climbing’. From the amazing music sample that I’ve heard, the image compliments their sound really well, part digi-tech, part natural acoustic and an array of beats and dub sounds.

I happened across this talented and tight little Los Angeles based group called ‘He’s My Brother She’s My Sister’ on a friends Facebook page the other day (thanks Chris!). They seem to be channeling some serious ragtime retro goodness from an era that has long since passed us by. The vocal styling, upright bass and tap percussion gives this band an authentic and ghostly presence that I enjoy very much. Simply brilliant stuff. Definitely one to give a listen to while you sit back and enjoy your cool Sidecar on a hot summer eve.

I discovered this new video called ‘End Love’ by OK GO on a friend’s Facebook wall today (thanks Chris!). It’s definitely on par with what OK GO has smartly conjured up for themselves in the past, actually, this may be my new favorite video from them. Great slo-mo shots contrasted by high speed motion blur, and I love the time-lapse/stop motion effect + their brilliantly colored suits… It’s a visual treat, for sure. Don’t forget to mention the track… I really dig it, the track reminds me of something that could have been inspired by mid-80s Prince. So good.

Also: They are letting everyone download the video right now on Facebook as a contest (details on the FB page) for a chance to win an engraved ‘OK Go’ iPad. Check it out via the link below:

The Black Keys – Tighten Up – Official Video from Chris Marrs Piliero on Vimeo.

I’ve been a ‘Black Keys’ fan since ‘The Big Come Up’ and ‘Thickfreakness’ days (2002-2003). It’s been a lot of fun to watch them evolve gracefully as a band over the years, they haven’t lost their dirty blues style. This video is pretty ridiculous, but I like that it was shot with a Canon 7D and that the track kicks ass, the way a Black Keys track should. Actually, the concept is, well… um, kinda cute? Never thought I’d say that word in relation to anything the Black Keys would produce. Makes for a fun view.

Amazing things are coming from designer, artist and musician Will Etling + his band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’ (Chris Richard, William Etling, Mike Hughes, and Jesse Hoy). I really dig the above album cover yarn installation that was built near the band’s practice space and shot during the day (for the front cover) and again at night (for the back). So simple, but at the same time the photos have a nice level of complexity and deepness to them. ‘The Deadly Syndrome’ is slated to release their new album on March 23rd, called ‘Nolens Volens’, which by definition means “Whether unwilling or willing.”. I was fortunate enough to have a preview listen of the entire album. Without saying too much, it’s perfectly moody, garnished with nice/subtle digital accents and absolutely magical from beginning to end… sure to be one of my personal favorites for 2010. I’ll post a more in depth description along with another reminder for you all to pick it up on the 23rd. You can download the debut single called “Wingwalker” now, via the link below.

Today’s 36th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by young artist ‘David Dallas’ and his track ‘Big Time’. I’m feeling the retro horns, break-beats and the relevant lyrics, as well as the subtle but interesting visual effects added in by director ‘Special Problems‘. That’s why I’ve selected this track for this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Phoenix – 1901 – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

I have been a huge fan of Paris based music ‘take away show’ video destination la Blogotheque for a few years now. I think their at least six years old at this point? Maybe a few more? I’ll have to look that up. Regardless, this little gem is by fav band ‘Phoenix’ beautifully performing their massive hit ’1901′. Nicely shot as well… a must view.

Major Lazer “Keep it Going Louder” from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

Today’s 35th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by the always interesting ‘Major Lazer’ and their fab dance party track ‘Keep it Going Louder’. From a graphic + effects perspective this video has it all and is really interesting. The rather robust women on pocket rockets with their distorted facial features take this video to that extra freaky level. Super fun/freaky stuff from ‘Major Lazer’. That’s why I’ve selected this track for this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Today’s 34th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by the over-adrenalized ‘Vampire Weekend’ cranking out a track called ‘Cousins’ in a back alley in what looks to be in NYC somewhere. I’m feeling this track b/c it’s super energetic and exactly what I need to get me through this week as I travel all over the damn country to visit family for Thanksgiving and move to Seattle, yes, all in one week.

I took notice of this campaign on the Creative Review.co.uk’s website last week. At first I was kind of feeling underwhelmed, but after letting the idea render in my head for a while I’ve decided it is a pretty innovative digital marketing approach even if there are very few exposures to be had from it. England’s ‘Editors’ have placed themselves into Google maps ‘Street View’ in a series of interesting night shots by photographer James Royall in order to pump up the excitement around their new album release. I don’t think the expectation or intent was to reach a billion people through this concept, instead, to create some mystique and a sense of innovation and relevancy to the band. Regardless, pretty interesting marketing tactics.

Today’s 28th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is by west coast band ‘The Deadly Syndrome’. Last week when I posted those great night shots by Will Etling, one of his fans or friends posted a link to his band and suggested I go check them out. Long story short, I did and they are really good, especially if you’re into the whole Moog/synth sound… To me, they are kind of a cross between ‘the Figurines’ and ‘the Rentals’. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.

Someone’s taken some notes from Madonna’s early career… Today’s 27th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is a shocking French rap/electronica/dub diva named ‘Uffie’. Her super edgy sexed up lyrics accompanied by some fresh creative beats and 80s synth effects make her track ‘Pop the Glock’ very disruptive and unique amongst others in her genre. The video is right on trend as well with a combination of lo-fi footage mashed up with some spacey-out-there 80s infused graphic effects and compositing. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’ (word of caution, this video is probably NSFW).

Today’s 26th ‘Midweek Music Bump‘ is a quirky rock jangle by San Francisco based band ‘Girls’ called ‘Lust For Life’. I like the low-fi film quality that is reminiscent of something that an old school Lomo camera would produce and the cast of characters shown in odd scenarios mouthing along to the lyrics. Up-beat and fun all the way through. That’s why it’s this week’s ‘Midweek Music Bump’.
