Beach House in the Desert

Tuesday, February 5th, 2013
Too bad they weren't selling tickets for this... Everything is more epic in the desert. In a new short film, Beach House roadtrips to Texas and performs from dusk ‘til dawn amongst canyons and cacti. “Forever Still is directly inspired by Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii," Beach House says. "We wanted to perform in a non-typical setting without losing the spirit of our music. We felt the songs would resonate in a more majestic and spiritual landscape.” The film is a perfect way to revisit the band's latest album, Bloom. And yes, the songs are just as dreamy as you remember them. Try not to close your eyes, though, the video is definitely worth the watch (if only for Victoria Legrand's amazing hair and wild horse sightings). Watch the video Forever Still below to catch Beach House perform live in the desert. Seen on: Pitchfork

PJ HARVEY’S DEDICATED ART

Thursday, April 28th, 2011
PJ Harvey makes a video for every track on her new album, Let England Shake Legendary British songstress PJ Harvey has been promoting her latest album "Let England Shake" by making a video to accompany every track on the record. Harvey worked closely with battlefield photographer Seamus Murphy to manifest a series of videos that have been scattered all over the internet everywhere from The Huffington Post to Harvey's personal website. Murphy and Harvey refer to the videos as a "series of short films" and the scenes in each segment read as a group. How will Harvey ever top this kind of dedication to her art? See a few of our favorites from PJ Harvey's new videos below, along with her performance last night on the legendary Jools Holland's show, where dressed up in a Bjork-esque get-up of flowing, stark white layers and a black feathered head dress, she commanded the audience with her signature howl.
