A Lull - the "Weapons Of War" video.

Again Chicago come up trumps with this awesome six piece band called A Lull. This is experimental Indie noise with a lovely quiet beauty to it, full of proper songs with nice structures and dreamy lyrics -like an Animal Collective collaboration with Edward Sharpe And Magnetic Zeros. It's all got a very modern new age hippie, gipsy, pagan feel to it but doesn't end up coming across as awful as that sounds!

This band mostly rock the Chicago area but are just moving to larger climbs, they had an EP out last year called Ice Cream Bones and this May released Weapons of War/Spread It All around on Vinyl and digital download. Go to their site to buy both EPs and the rest of their lovely merch.

The video below is for the latest release and it is full on amazing, Zeitgeisty and cool!

Edward Sharpe & TheMagnetic Zeros album news!

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are a wonderful band out of their time. Timeless rather than retro, modern hippies in the great hopefilled sence of the word, that created amazing events and communities in the late 60s and early 70s.
They take you to the dessert and start a new life, a world of poetry and waking at dawn to see the new world, a new way of living away from the indignities of modern life.

Remember the commune they visit in the dessert in Easy Rider, filled with performers and musicians that Peter Fonda says 'will make it'? Well they did and here are their children!

Their self titled album released in july this year is being featured on Amazon mp3 download as one of the 50 albums for $5 if you live in the United States! But here in the UK thats 13 utterly brilliant songs for only £8.98! Amazing! The link to it is here.

Here also is the video for their single 'Home'

..and just when I was getting a bit bored of dubstep I go and find something like this! George Lenton
Found it from the Missing Thumbs blog which always is good for finding great tracks!

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros are a band I know little about but they have a Dark Meat/Flaming Lips feel and this video epic for one of their songs out this year is totally AMAZING!
