Stoked for the new Land of Talk LP. They’re playing Du Nord for $10(!) in November. This Magnetic Zeros track has been stuck in my head all week.

Gabe Askew is the artist and fan behind this unofficial video for Gizzly Bear‘s Two Weeks. Seems pretty damn official to me. Took him just a few months using 3dsmax, Vray, and After Effects. Wonderful stuff
Here’s the official video (cool, albeit a little unsettling).
Haven’t listened to Pinback in a while. Love how this track builds to such a sweet release (seriously, no pun intended Andy). There’s a couple other throwback tunes that’ve popped onto the player by fate. And some new ones, too. Enjoy.
