Friday Videos - July 17th, 2020

posted July 17, 2020 #

Woah, been a minute since the last Friday Videos! Sorry about that but, also, not sorry because my life is extremely busy these days and there's not a lot I can do about it. I hope you understand.

But I digress! The above GIF is from the wonderful new Modern Feminist Lyric Video, which you should watch but has no relation to the distractions which follow.

And here they are. Stay safe out there. Wear a dang mask.

Modern Feminist (Lyric Video)

posted July 17, 2020 #

In celebration of the Black Bra album release, the band has also unveiled a lyric video for the track "Modern Feminist." This was the first song I heard from Beth in demo form and it really stuck with me - the lyrics are political, personal, vulnerable and empowered. It's potent in a way that is hard to articulate.

The video was Directed and Animated by Dycee Wildman, based on collages from Beth Cameron and Aaron Hartley. If you think animated collages can't be emotionally moving, you're in for a surprise. Wildman did a phenomenal job capturing the emotion and sentiment of the song.

This is Black Bra

The debut full-length record from Black Bra is available today. If you were a fan of the band Forget Cassettes, this is likely going to be up your alley as it features the same primary songwriter and vocalist; Beth Cameron. I've written about this project a few times on the site before but the short of it is - I've known Beth for 20 plus years and this latest undertaking is her best yet.
The record is on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, etc. All the usual suspects. I suggest you buy the record on Bandcamp but that's just my preference.

The band pulls influences from as far reaching opposite poles as Portishead to psych rock. That sounds like it could be a total mess but they do it with fantastic skill.

I'm very happy with how this has all turned out. I had nothing to do with the music itself but I did put together the album artwork (based on a painting by Julia Martin) and feel very good about helping shepherd this music out into the world. I hope you give it a listen.

The Wired Remote

posted July 15, 2020 #

Every week until we've exhausted the repository, a new visual video from Meadownoise is being released. These videos are often slow and contemplative; intentionally created as fitting backdrops to the song but not direct narrative pieces.

The latest release is for "The Wired Remote", a track that floats along with an ambient nature punctuated by a mournful saxophone and a vocal line that fascinates me. It's broken, chopped, skittering and stuttering throughout. It feels like being on the receiving end of a transmission sent through the cosmos.

I previously remarked that Meadownoise sometimes reminds me of The Books. This track, while decidedly Meadownoise, is the one that hits closest to that mark.

The Threeve album is out now and all of the visual videos can be watched in this playlist.

The Prudish Few "In A" (Official Video)

posted July 9, 2020 #

Happy to debut the first video for The Prudish Few for the track "In A" - off their forthcoming album The Eagle Has Left the Building.

The video was edited together by Mike Shepherd and I'm just captivated by the clips he was able to find to pair with the song. It fits the energy just right and lyrics just right. There's a moment when the footage flips upside down that was not done by Shepherd, it's just a perfect happy accident to fit the song.

If you're a fan of clever pop songs, keep an ear out for more on The Prudish Few. The songs are deceptively poppy but often contain a nice political rumbling just below the surface.
