WeAreBandits

I've been pretty obsessed with the band Memoryhouse as of late.  Especially since I've started reading their blog - which is filled with the most beautiful photos and videos.  Like this one:

Fog from Michael Yudchenko on Vimeo.

Which makes me die a thousand tiny, lovely deaths.

Memoryhouse is classically trained frontman Evan Abeele and photographer-slash-vocalist Denise Nouvion.  Originally the duo set out to create an audio-video art project with ambient music and Denise's photographs.  They soon found out they loved making pop music together and the project took a different path.

The music combined with the photographs pins down EXACTLY how I'm feeling in my brain/heart/lungs right now.  Here are a sampling of my favorite images from their website:

"If I had a boat, I would sail to you"

The non-official video for "If I had a boat." I'm in love with this song.  Listen to the beautiful James Vincent McMorrow talk about his latest record here...  I'm a sucker for boys with accents.

White Sea

I am gifting you some free music in honor of Monday.

White Sea's new e.p. This Frontier is headed up by Morgan Kibby.  Kibby has been in and around the music scene in L.A. for years now.  White Sea is the first project where she is "writing and producing" everything herself.  Morgan was influenced by "ABBA, Donna Summer and the Bee Gees" for this e.p.  Though I would have to say the music is a lot darker than any of the musical outfits just mentioned.  It reminds me of Victorian disco ... using only ProTools and a smile.

All quotes come from a much longer article you can find here.

There to Remind Me

A friend recently reminded me of a long-lost band love.



I love this - stilted video and all.  There is something wonderful about being surrounded by a few hundred people, sweating and singing along.

Here's to songs we can all sing along to.
