Watch Cross Record's Self Created Music Video for the Track 'High Rise'
Cross Record, also known as Emily Cross, has shared a video for βHigh Rise,β the latest track taken from her forthcoming album Wabi-Sabi, out January 29th via Ba Da Bing Records. Self-created by Cross and husband Dan Duszynski one muggy October morning before she left for work, Cross bizarrely merges with the Dripping Springs landscape of their Moon Phase Ranch home. Awkward body contortions become alien dance moves, as Crossβ eerie, distorted presence commandeers the imagery. Cross approaches videos as integral pieces of her albums, and βHigh Riseβs sonic intensity is the primary inspiration. She also tosses in a chainsaw for good measure. Cross recorded Wabi-Sabi on that above mentioned 18 acre ranch, complete with a chicken coop and adjoining bird sanctuary. Interacting and adapting to new environments is a theme that permeates this smoky, atmospheric sophomore album. Click here to preorder the album.

Nap Eyes, From Novia Scotia, Debuts the First Track off Their Upcoming Sophomore Album
Recorded live to tape, with no overdubs, on the North Shore of Nova Scotia (where the band is from) Nap Eyesβ quietly contemplative sophomore record refines and elaborates their debut, offering an airier, more spacious second chapter, a bracing blast of bright oceanic sunshine after the moonlit alleys of Whine of the Mystic, released in 2014. But the briny, cold Atlantic roils beneath these exquisite, literate guitar pop songs, posing riddles about friendship, faith, mortality, and self-doubt. Here the premiere of the first single off Thought Rock Fish Scale below β album to be released in February.

Watch The Insane Music Video For New Zealand Sensation Marlon Williams' Track "Hello Miss Lonesome"
New Zealand artist Marlon Williams will release his self-titled, debut album on February 19th on Dead Oceans. With his exceptionally versatile and evocative voice, Williams truly inhabits his material and presents a remarkably assured and diverse debut. The albumβs rollicking, acrobatic opening, βHello Miss Lonesome,β features Williamsβ vocals soaring atop bluegrass guitars and a tight snare. Itβs accompanying video, directed by Damien Shatford, is a heady visual counterpart presenting Miss Lonesome as an emotional chameleon, dragging Williams through a confusing internal space. Five different actors, each with the same aesthetic but different emotional rules, comprise Miss Lonesome. One may notice nods to Todd Solondzβs βPalindromes,β or that famous bathhouse scene in βEastern Promises.β
