New Blonde Redhead Video - "23"

The title track to Blonde Redhead's seventh full-length 23 sets Kazu Makino spectral, siren song to hazy shades of guitar swells and perpetual rhythm, and director Melodie McDaniel did the cut's sonic splashes justice, bathing the band in diaphanous billows of bright-lit smoke with the odd dash of color. Plus, a nature scene or two straight outta Deep Thoughs by Jack Handy. Watch it at Spinner.

23 is out 4/10 on 4AD, the same day as a free show at the Apple Store in SoHo. Rest of Blonde Redhead's tour dates are here.

I could go either way on the video, but the song is awesome.

I've only been lukewarm on Blonde Redhead and have only attended one show (more like dragged into it) a couple of years ago. This song alone may just change all that. I can't wait until 23 is physically tangled in my grubby paws, ready for some headphone time.

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
