Here We Go Magic: Tunnelvision



Here We Go Magic, is one of many bands to come out of Brooklyn over the last few years, that play this Psychedellic inspired music, crossing genres from Rock, to Eletro to folk ect. Here We go Magic is In my oponion one of the best and most interesting sounding acts from the "scene".

Hauschka: Watercolor animation triology

On this rainy thursday, we need something nice and cosy, and I think Hauschka does just that, tho there is a Mooomie troll atmosphere underneath it, and especially towards the end. Even if it´s a bit melancholy,(said the "melancholy Dane")It is still a very nice and sweet little animation video, with some really great music to it, (Horns & Strings) like you may remember from, The Wind In The Willows, The Snowman ect.

watercolor animation backs this regal instrumental track, turning it into the cutest woodland-creature gathering this side of "David the Gnome". Directed by Overture.

Here is the triology from Hauschka including the tracks: 1 Eltern 2 Heimat 3 Freibad.
