I heard Finger Eleven’s Paralyzer on the radio the other day. I was curious who it was so I Shazammed it, and usually when this is the case, I listen to a few times on Youtube, hear it a few more times on the radio, and I’m good. And the song’s good, but what’s making it show up in my post is the video. It started out like a normal ‘band video.’ But then there’s this crazy, side show of choreographed mod-squad dancers all dressed in black and white. I have no idea what it means or how it relates to the video, but it just made the song ten times better.
And on a side note, doesn’t the lead singer remind you a little of Art Garfunkel?
White Rabbits released It’s Frightening earlier this year. It’s a cool compilation of beat driven songs that seem to want to be orchestrated but never quite get all that in order. To their advantage, I think. Kind of reminds me of Spoon.
