Ok, so maybe this is old news to y’all, but we were delighted to find out out that Bob Boilen’s really rounded up a nice ‘half-way through 2009′ mix of new releases on a recent NPR All Songs Considered, including Ghostly’s new signing, Denmark’s Choir of Young Believers, Paul McCartney’s fave new band, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, and Quannum Projects’ dynamic duo, Apsci.

Check out Apsci‘s iphone-tastic new video for “Under Control”. From Wired:  “LaMotta and Diaz-Tutaan made the video using nothing but their iPhone, a portable printer and a webcam. They performed the track in front of the webcam and printed it up into the handheld snapshots that fly by in the globe-hopping video, which hopscotches from Brooklyn to the Grand Canyon, Vegas, Hawaii and Australia at the speed of sound. They took additional shots using the iPhone, then mashed the production nightmare into an eye-tripping visual for their body-rocking song.”

Apsci’s sophomore album, Best Crisis Ever, comes out August 11th via Quannum Projects.
