Rap videos definitely need more representation here at SRO, I can count two since we began, so I’m going to take it upon myself to showcase some of my favorites from the not so distant past. Let me know if I bore you.

The Figurines‘ Skeleton is a wonderful indie-pop album. Now, I’m not saying that because there are a few good songs on it, but because it is in fact a wonderful album in a wholistic sense. From start to finish, Skeleton keeps you engaged, mixing things up between pulsing, up-tempo rhythms and more folky and relaxed jaunts. Both ends of the spectrum are held together by a deep respect for the hook that allows anybody to jump aboard and enjoy the fun without needing a degree in pretentioius hipsterology. However, the pop is almost always served up with interesting guitar-work that will help keep even the most jaded shoegazer interested. While I Remember is a decent enough track, many more polished diamonds are buried in the album proper. [Visit Shots Ring Out to read the rest…]
Another lazy Beck video, another lazy post from me. Song sounds alright. Video is bunch of quirky whatever. I’m running out of pictures of this guy.

Emily Haines steps down from her Metric frontwoman duties for some solo adventuring on her latest project Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton. If any of you have happened to have seen Metric live, you know that Emily’s star is one just waiting to supernova. Commanding presence, high energy, short, short black dresses: the girl should be in pictures. The track “Doctor Blind” off the upcoming Knives Don’t Have Your Back reveals a more reserved, ethereal energy with tempered ivory melodies underscored by the synth pulse that has always signaled the Metric sound. The end result is a larger than life indie-ballad that harkens back to Fiona Apple at her finest. Check and mate. [Visit Shots Ring Out to read the rest…]

Will Oldham is such a glutton for the camera. He wants to be a star and once again he returns, front and center in his video for Cursed Sleep. Andy Bruntel tells a little story that follows Will from being a lost and lonely ‘Tree’ man, to a reddened out Ornithologist and finally is wrangled into a wrestling match with everyone’s favorite alien. I know, quite the video. [Visit Shots Ring Out to read the rest…]
