With its strings and upwardly arced twee-pop harmonies, “Get Better”‘s a pretty one. The track’s from Mates Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel’s forthcoming fifth album Re-Arrange Us. In the video, various people in animal masks ride scooters, drive, walk, etc., their way to a party. It’s familiar, though this clip has a more explosive ending. And we think there’s a moral in there’s somewhere, too. Or at least an angelic baby.

Re-Arrange Us is out 5/20 on Barsuk.

    When I saw the Bat for Lashes video, I thought it was at least partially an homage to Donnie Darko. The Mates of State video is… different. Definitely not as creepy.

  9. Love the song. Can’t wait for this record.
