One of my favorite groups are the British indie pop artists Guillemots. Gotta love those quirky love songs. Band leader Fyfe Dangerfield is releasing his solo album in a few months (January) and already has a song available for free download on his website.

Guillemots are all about branding. Much like the red-hued video for "Get Over It," there's lots of red in the video for "Kriss Kross" (the album's called Red, bingo). The dark-to-light kriss-krossing track came packing a typewriter riff and general prime-time-criminal-drama vibe as a free download a ways back. In its video form, it comes packing super saturated effects, oversized shades, and Fy...
Clips like these are why God invented the internet. These take away shows are so well done.
