Video: Cranking indie tunes over the phone never actually swoons a room full of ladies lying in their undies. Trust me, it doesn’t. It creeps them out.
Okay, sure, it’s a bit easy. Take a good indie song, or a well known classic rock jam that everyone loves, and add some reverby effects and beat the hell out of a bass drum on Garage Band. Repeat eighteen times, release the tracks on an album and get more famous than half the artists you mixed.
At any rate, Flagrant Foul’s Cousin Cole & Pocketknife are an eardrum’s sick little fetish, perverting innocent songs like Iron & Wine’s “Each Coming Night,” Panda Bear’s “Bros,” and even John Lennon’s “Oh Yoko!,” into twisted predatory dance-clubby versions of themselves. While it does get difficult to wade through the whole album and its everlasting entirety of obnoxious bass drum on every single beat, picking and choosing favorites to blast through your car’s woofers never really tires.
The promo video up above is exactly what you’d expect. They ripped a clip from a major motion picture (The Virgin Suicides) and put their own music into it. I can’t say it’s not great though. Check out the full track list for Tambourine Dream here, and click below to listen to Pocketknife’s Scowling Owl Remix of Joanna Newsom’s “The Book of Right On.”
