VIDEO / New Music Virtual jukebox: Yamin Semali, Featureless Ghost, Stacy Epps, and more
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 12:52 PM
Let there be light! Cousin Dan and Little Tybee consummate an unholy alliance in this video for "The Boldest Line" from Little Tybee's forthcoming LP, For Distant Viewing. ... Even after taking a bullet, Cuz Dan's moves are still pure gold.
"Yamintro (Hello Again)" is the third video from Yamin Semali's (aka AmDex of Clan Destined) first proper solo album, YAMIN. Semali has two shows coming up this weekend: On Sat., Feb. 23, he's DJing J-Live's birthday party at the Sound Table.
The following day (Sun., Feb. 24) he's playing the album release party for Stacy Epps' latest offering, AURA, at Cloud IX.
Featureless Ghost recently completed a live in-studio performance video for "Video Enforcement," from last year's Personality Matrix LP. Keep an eye out for Part 2 coming soon.
... And in case you missed it, "Video Enforcement" was also recently remixed by South African duo Tannhäuser Gate.
"The Montagues," is the latest single to come down the pike from Glenn Saddler, who took a few minutes to break it all down ... "When I started the song it was because a friend of my manager said that her parents told her she could date anyone but a black guy. Being a black guy, that obviously bothered me, but I've heard stuff like that my entire life. For some reason, hearing it at that specific time made me think about Romeo and Juliet, and how their families could never reconcile. I thought that story could be related to interracial couples and the prejudice against interracial couples. As I was writing, I realized that I wanted to speak on the criticism that those couples face and how that criticism affects them individually; specifically how it affects the identity of a black male knowing the world doesn't want him to date their daughters."
Saddler and his Farther Out cohorts play Smith's Olde Bar on Thu., Feb 28.
And last, but not least, a new single from the pleasantly dreary synth pop trio Vyie. The group's latest album, Nightingale, is streaming on Spinner.
