Music Video: Lusine- Two Dots

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Britta Johnson (video director for Andrew Bird, among others) brings Lusine’s gorgeous new single “Two Dots” to life, illustrating the songs relationships-as-trigonometry analogy in an intricately animated video. In the clip, a pair of marbles—one blue, one yellow—engage in the timeless dance of seduction on a horizontal plain, mapping the ups and downs of a courtship through pencil-drawn geometric principles. Like Two Dots, Johnsons video lives in the middle ground between technology and humanity, emotional immediacy and obsessive detail.

New Japancakes Single and Video Featuring Orenda Fink

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

275562 72 New Japancakes Single and Video Featuring Orenda FinkArtist: Japancakes
Title: Behind the Mountain
Label: Sleepy Strange
Genre: Indie : Alternative
Release Date: 7/28/09
UPC: 844185076531
Territories: World ex-China

Japancakes are releasing the single, “Behind The Mountains” next week featuring Azure Ray’s Orenda Fink on vocals.  Japancakes have been layering melodic instrumental music together for years. While this Athens, GA band has mentioned the idea of introducing vocals to their music through the years, it has never quite happened until now. Japancakes has never recorded in the usual method, and this project is no different. In fact, the band has spread out further across the map and worked on this project from many parts of the world. From Athens, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Taiwan, Japancakes have put together three versions of this single. With the comforting airy vocals from Orenda Fink(Azure Ray), on the English version, accompanying Japancakes soundtrack style, some beautiful and simplistic visuals are drawn.

These visuals come to life in the first ever video from Japancakes, directed by Ryan Berg. Stunning and simple, this video captures a glimpse of the beauty that comes to mind when thinking of all involved in the project. Even more so, another beautiful vocal version is available. With lyrics written and performed in Mandarin Chinese, by Moon(Miss Stocking), this unique version is equally beautiful in all areas. And keeping with Japancakes true instrumental roots, an instrumental version is also available. This project is truly unique with each version being well worth the attention.
