New Guillemots Video - "Kriss Kross"

Guillemots are all about branding. Much like the red-hued video for "Get Over It," there's lots of red in the video for "Kriss Kross" (the album's called Red, bingo). The dark-to-light kriss-krossing track came packing a typewriter riff and general...  CONTINUE READING NEW GUILLEMOTS VIDEO - "KRISS KROSS"»

New Guillemots Video - "Falling Out Of Reach"

Guillemots' "Falling Out Of Reach" falls in line with some of the great, delicately emotional tracks the band introduced itself with on Through The Windowpane, like "Made Up Love Song #43," or even "Blue Would Still Be Blye."

New Guillemots - "Kriss Kross"

Guillemots will make ya ... hit this link and fork over your email addy for a free MP3 of the adventurously titled "Kriss Kross," from the band's forthcoming album Red. The troupe's over-the-top pop won us over a couple years ago, for its emotion and its ambition and its lack of disposable '90s hip hop references (still safe here: note the two "s"s in "Kriss"), so new stuff is good news. This tune, which isn't the first single (that'd be "Get Over It," streaming for a snip at MySpace), starts with some menacing fuzz bass, sirens, and a modal, violin-and-typewriter (both of which they play at shows, btw) melody -- like a criminal drama theme song, almost -- before breaking into Fyfe Dangerfield's trademark exuberance. It krisses and krosses from dark to light, and although it settles into a sort of mundane, major-keyed ride out, it's a satisfying LP peek.

Guillemots @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 5/9/06

Seemed reasonable to turn our attention to stage when the house lights cut ... but Guillemots like to experiment, and didn't waste any time. Like a make-shift marching band, the group struck up a racket in the balcony, banging drums,...  CONTINUE READING GUILLEMOTS @ BOWERY BALLROOM, NYC 5/9/06»
