Video: Fishdoctor - 'Atlantic'

Last month, Brooklyn based, six-piece Fishdoctor released the new video for 'Atlantic' the first track taken from their upcoming album. The intimate video is a really lovely compilation of a band member's family home videos, which sees the majority of the shots filmed on the beaches of Long Island NY in the 1940's.

Original and honest, the video is feel good, fun and full of nostalgia and the personal touch is a great insight into what the band stand for;  Grounded guys creating catchy, melodic, indie/psych pop songs that can't help but leave you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Video Review: Mr 1-2-3-4 - 'Vermilion Sands'

Kraut rock Brooklyn artist Mr 1-2-3-4 describes his new single 'Vermillion Sands', as taking it's inspiration "from J.G. Ballard's 1971 collection of short stories, set in a futuristic resort town where the jaded denizens relieve their boredom by playing baroque and cruel games. The track starts off as swinging, Surrealist jazz, then turns on the motorik engine and heads for outer space". and to be fair you don't hear anything like that very often do you?!

If possible, the concept of the song has taken an even more obscure turn now that the mysterious Mr 1-2-3-4 has now finished the animated music video for it. It's pretty much a surreal futuristic adult cartoon that begins with an introduction to "America's sweetheart" Cookie Caboose and her pal Busby Bulldog! There's a bikini clad brunette bowing down to a 'staff of power', a bulldog painting a picture of a bronze lady wearing a wreath of flowers around her neck just about covering her nipples on ample bossoms! The dog (Busby)hitting on a woman via computer video, who then invites him and Cookie Caboose to a  Mr 1-2-3-4 gig, mummies, aliens,  a scared cratered planet and some other completely bizarre factors! 

Conclusion: Mr 1-2-3-4  could we please live inside your head for a day? Krau-some!

Single Review: Lolo - 'Weapon For Saturday'

Lolo || Website || Facebook || Twitter

 Originally from Tennessee but currently based in Brooklyn, NY, meet 25 year old Lolo and her feisty attitude-fuelled single 'Weapon For Saturday'. Recorded in LA and co-produced by Mark Batson (Dr. Dre/Eminem) you'll be sorely disappointed if you're expecting some sort of hip hop/ rap number. Instead this is more trip-hop with a dramatic, surging, cinematic appeal to it.

With lyrics that are boldly self assured, overwhelming synth, sexy, sassy, guitar riffs and the fearless, self assured and powerful tone to Lolo's vocal range, Lolo is a pleasant diversion from the shy pop of your standard mainstream, female singer songwriter and we can't wait to hear more from her.
