1. LE ONE NIGHT STAND is finally coming up on Friday, July 14 to celebrate Bastille Day!
2. The 4th of July weekend is coming up with two extra days off of work!
3. I'm totally loving this new group from NYC, Brookville! (Bio here)
Brookville, recently came into my radar by my friend Greg B. at Worlds Fair. He thought I might take a liking especially because their newest single, Nothing's Meant To Last, features Sabina from Brazilian Girls. As soon as I played the mp3 on my iTunes I was already in luv... Loungy and suave w/ fuzzy sounding drum beats, spacey piano and guitar drop ins, and something that sounds like water dropping from a long day of rain on some tropical island (in slow motion of course). Andy Chase's voice is super soft and calming, singing lyrics talking about taking a second to take a breath in and not rush things.
I watched the video (by the awesome Adam) where it starts off with Chase writing a love letter to Sabina in a postcard. I was automatically brought back to my days living in Madrid where I used to sit in my apartment by the window writing poetry (written in Spanish and English). I would write about my life, luv, pains of being in luv, and being far from him. The setting of the video reminds me of what I used to think of when reading the book, The Beach, by Alex Garland. Hazey dayz in an old summer hotel room w/ a typewriter and a gold pen (no computers, just old school hand written letter writing. Brilliant!). The cinematography is beautifully done w/ colors of warm reds, rich greens, soft creams, and antique golds. Close ups of their faces of sadness and longing for each other. Lots of eye close ups, so sigh.....dreamy:*)
You can download the song, Nothing's Meant To Last, here and you can see the video for it here. There's also a remix by Casettes Won't Listen, you can download here.
The whole album just came out June 13th on Unfilted Records so you can buy it now!
