Forget MGMT, well, for the next five minutes anyway. Yeasayer are the hottest band out of Brooklyn, and they have a new video to prove it. Their single, Ambling Alp, sounds like Nik Kershaw locked in a wind tunnel.

What is it about 1980s videos? I mean, seriously, it’s like every director from that period swallowed a big bowl of feelgood cheese [with extra Gruyere on top] and got deeper and deeper into that saccharine sweet, naive world of day-glo kitsch. But, damn, I kinda wish the film clips of today were even half as creative. On a side note, my next haircut will be like Nik Kershaw’s, circa 1984? Oh boy! That mop needs a zip code all of its own.

We checked with with legendary Australian designer Vince Frost and asked him when he felt he was usually at his most productive: ‘First thing in the morning. I am alive and excited about the new day.

Yellow Fever are a great duo from Austin that harkens back to the girl-fronted indie bands of the 90s. At times Breeders-ish, at others referencing garag-y sounds from other eras, their simple and heartfelt songs remind us of why we all thought mismatched Converse and unkempt androgyny was so cool in the first place.
Listen to the Yellow Fever song, Cats and Rats.
