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.

We’ve posted a video from our Sycamore show, a brand new song of ours called “Longest Day of the Year”. You can see it here. We seriously had such a great time that night — thanks to all who came out to support the new record!

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.

“Dress Up” Covers EP and Release Show!

Steve — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:56:28 +0000

We’re in the studio this week, finishing mixes on Dress Up, our new EP of covers. It’s been good fun, though also intimidating as hell at times, to step up to this collection of songs that we’ve long loved and give them an honest barebones LS treatment. With the exception of the song for the Crewdson film, which we did with the band, each track (from The Cure, Sun Kil Moon, Chris Whitley and even dear Hem) was recorded live: two guitars, two vocals, no overdubs and no tomfoolery. And no frilly things to drape over the rough spots. We really, really love the way this record has come together and can’t wait to share it. Come hear us at Sycamore in Brooklyn on 4/27 for a record release show!
