New video galore: Memory Tapes, Korallreven & Veronica Falls

Some fantastic new video stuff. Memory Tapes' Bicycle is one of the finest electronic songs I've heard in a long while:

Second is the official video for Korallreven's The Truest Faith. This dreamy and nonchalant song is very reminiscent to dreampop-duo jj. Video directed by Sebastian of Sail a Whale:

And lastly, the video for Veronica Falls' new single Beachy Head. The video for this lo-fi garage outfit is a bit sinister, especially when you realize that Beachy Head is one of the highest cliffs in Britain and is therefore known as one of the most notorious suicide spots in the world:

Moondoggies - It’s a Shame It’s a Pity / Fly Momma Fly

Here's a nice video from The Moondoggies, shot by Yours Truly. This Seattle foursome truly has the sweetest vocal harmonies around, and the melodies to match too. The band positions itself somewhere between Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes. Their last album, Don't Be A Stranger, didn't really get the attention it deserved in my opinion, but they're back for the rebound. They've just released You'll Find No Answers Here, an EP featuring five cuts that didn't make it to the album expected somewhere later this year. Listen to one of their new songs from the EP called Fly Momma Fly below the video.

Oh yeah, the band also wrote an open letter to Sasquatch (click to enlarge):

Baths - Maximalist (video)

Van Baths verwacht ik de komende tijd heel veel. In juni komt Cerulean uit op Anticon, het label van o.a. Why? en Son Lux. Baths klinkt zowel als Washed Out en Flying Lotus, en weet het geluid van nu dus goed te vangen.
