Pictured: White Hinterland can play your next “brown out” party.
White Hinterland recently played a living room in Eau Claire at our friend’s house. It was, in one word, incredible. In two words it would be, “incredibly awesome”, or maybe, “damn dude!” Anyway, they put on a helluva show. We wanted to take a video of it for the website, but unfortunately for us they play in almost total darkness. We could have turned our night vision on, but did you really want to watch concert footage that looks like a Paris Hilton sex tape? We didn’t think so.
Anyway, here’s the next best thing, a track from White Hinterland’s newest album, Phylactery Factory, “Dreaming of the Plum Trees.” The track sort of sways back and forth in the breeze, like a Jobim fever dream. The piano jolts and jives and generally creates perfect summer noise while lead singer, Casey Dienel cutes her way through a song about people buying cigarette boats and running around in bare feet. Yeah, I know, someone wrote ANOTHER song about buying a cigarette boat.
I feel like the less I say about this, the better. Just listen on your ipod, stereo, or whatever with your feet up and your nose in freshly cut grass. It’s what life is all about.
