Переслать - Video of the Day: Shrag, "Rabbit Kids"
There’s nothing better than waking up, switching on your computer and after a quick check to make sure your friend count hasn’t gone down overnight, discovering a favorite new band. I’d heard about Shrag but hadn’t really checked them out. Maybe it was the name or the nagging suspicion that they might be dodgy, because really every band that gets some good buzz can’t be good, can they? A friend posted their video this morning and I decided I’d give it a play. Wouldn’t you know that it turns out Shrag are nothing less than wonderful. Male/female vocal dynamics, mopey but tuneful songs and a decidedly non-dodgy indie pop sound! Kind of like a Los Campesinos! who aren’t quite so terribly impressed with themselves… “Rabbit Kids” has been out for a long while, and the band released their second album Life! Death! Prizes! earlier this year. I’d suggest you do like me and get cracking on tracking it down!Click here to view the embedded video.
Bonus fun remix of “Rabbit Kids!”
