This week from Barsuk Records, Ra Ra Riot‘s video for the song “Ghost Under the Rocks” off their debut album The Rhumb Line. Brian Savelson directed the video and Mr. Savelson’s recent video for Band of Horses won two MVPA awards, so check out what he does with Ra Ra Riots infectious melding of new wave orchestral pop! Also up this month, a new album and video from Stereolab. Now, that’s reason to celebrate! Stereolab’s eleventh album and debut on the label 4AD is called Chemical Chords and we have the video for the song “Neon Beanbag”. The video, visually, harkens back to the early days of music videos through director Julian House’s use of 80’s style visual effects, which he colors with surrealistic twists!. And, finally, dont forget to check out Friendly Fires “Jump In The Pool” for some cool reprieve from the summer’s heat. Their new self titled album on XL Recordings is a trippy blast of shoe gaze pop!
