A new video from Paleo, which is the pseudonym of singer-songwriter David Strackany. The guy’s latest album Fruit of the Spirit, and this music is definitely going to sit well with fans of oddball personalities. Paleo carries the innocence of Daniel Johnston, but can turn around and play the

While it certainly doesn’t seem as official as John Maus’ video for “Head for the Country,” the eerie and sci-fi movie footage strung together in this video seems pretty appropriate for the track “Cop Killer”–admittedly, one of my favs from Maus’ latest LP, which we’ve got an

MP3 Coming out July 5th on Mexican Summer, Part Time’s debut album, What Would You Say?. Fronted by singer-songwriter David Speck, this release should lovingly seduce the ear drums of anybody who is into the nostalgic hip swaying of Ariel Pink or John Maus. Dig on a video for
