More from the international pop underground…today we visit Paris, France’s Beat Mark as they get ready for the release of their debut LP, Howls of Joy, coming out on Ample Play Records February 18th! If you’re looking for a new favorite band to crush hard on this Valentines Day, you’ve found them! With lo-fi nonchalance this band does so much well, freshening up the best elements of 90’s indie pop with awesome male/female harmonies and an adventurous musical sense. While their super-limited cassette Move On (Soft Power Records) has a release date of February 15th listed on it’s Bandcamp page, it also says the tape is SOLD OUT. That’s okay! Stream it here, and while you’re at it check out the video for “Purple Glow”, a track off their up-coming debut LP.
The video for “Purple Glow” is directed by London-based artist Phil Miller, and it, “takes images from England, America, and France as seen through the eyes of a roaming jogger and some girls stuck in a hotel room.”
