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.
- M.

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.

New York four-piece The Pains of Being Pure At Heart seem to be right on the tip of everyone’s tongue right now, and are seemingly on the verge of making a huge splash in 2009 with the release of their highly anticipated debut album being merely a few weeks away. But once you’ve listened to just one song, you being to realize that they absolutely love the kind of music that they’re creating.

Tokyo Trailer!

This is an excellent little trailer for Tokyo!, which until yesterday I had not even heard about. The film will include three shorts from the likes of Michel Gondry (we all know him, yes?), South Korean filmmaker Joon-ho Bong (The Host) and French director Leos Carax. I’ve never seen any films from Carax (apparently, his last film was 1999’s Pola X), but just the involvement of Gondry getting back to flexing his creative muscles has set my excitement for this at an extremely high level. Early word from the film had it pegged as a “nastier Eastern sibling to Paris, Je T’aime,” and called Gondry’s short, “arguably the best.” The trailer looks visually stunning, and anything that uses the city of Tokyo as its backdrop has me sold from the beginning. Also, the use of Tokyo Police Club during the trailer was a nice touch as well.
