“Stolen Souvenir” video by Peter Hamlin & Nina Frenkel
Our good friends Peter Hamlin and Nina Frenkel took this song on a dreamy, animated ramble, and we’re totally dumbstruck and thrilled with what they came up with. Load the video fullscreen and give it a look… We also gave this little interview to IFC on the making of video for its premiere on their site.
“Longest Day of the Year” — Sycamore, Brooklyn, NY
We totally had a ball at the “Dress Up” record release show – lots of good people and one of our favorite li’l venues in town. We had intended to post a clip of “Pictures of You”, from the new album, but that song pretty much blew up in our faces, to much bewilderment and awe among all assembled. At least that’s how we recall it. In any case, here’s a more tame capture of a brand new song of ours.
“That’s a nice ring.”
After a little bit of eavesdropping at the beginning here, this video settles into a pretty good capture of one of our newest songs, called “The Slowing and the Start”. We debuted this song on our spring dates this year, and this recording is from NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall on 4/15/11. Take a listen…

“Where We Met” video by Jim Collier
We celebrated the release of the new record with this video from the wond’rous Jim Collier. Jim’s worked with both of us in the past (he did this for Hem and this for the Sprinkle Genies), and he drove with us from Windsor Terrace to Coney Island one hot summer day.
Peter Rad Photoshoot – April 2010
Last spring our friend Peter Rad took these photos in Brooklyn. A few hours later we packed ourselves into a car and literally drove through the night to make it to Louisville’s WFPK and Motherlodge Festival. Unfortunately we didn’t make the trip in that pink car. We have no idea whose car that is, but thank you.
Very late-night, low-budget photoshoot
Late one night after rehearsal we realized we didn’t have any photos of David and Ray on the site. So bleary-eyed and knock-kneed, we stuck a camera on a chair and remedied this. Ray Rizzo plays drums; he’s wearing stripey pants. David Tarica plays bass and keys; he’s not. They’re the best.
