I recently came across this great video via Kitsune Noir for one of Passenger’s new songs, Golden Thread, featuring illustration/ animation work from Mark Charlton. I think it’s a really nice balance of something soft and sweet with fun visuals.

Friday video time – have a great weekend!

I recently came across this great project from Beck called Record Club.

Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to ‘add to’ the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens.
