The Joy Formidable - Whirring (Austin 2011)

The Joy Formidable perform "Whirring" live from Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop during KEXP's broadcast at SXSW. Recorded 3/17/2011 host: Cheryl Waters engineer: Kevin Suggs Cameras: Jim Beckmann, Shelly Corbett, Scott Holpainen and Christopher Meister editing: Scott Holpainen

A Welsh band in a bicycle shop in Texas. As you do.

As the KEXP announcer points out at the end, the noise that builds over 9 minutes here is made by just three people. Outstanding.

A standout track from one of the best debut albums I've heard in years.

Stars - Personal (2007)

Song: Personal Artist: Stars Greg Phelps as the Man Chloe Haagen as the Woman Director: Jeff Dougherty Props: Dan Hayward Post Production: Greg Phelps and Jeff Dougherty

I mean, how have I only recently discovered this band?

The song is from 2007 and the unofficial video from 2009, directed by film-making student Jeff Dougherty. Great work.
