With its strings and upwardly arced twee-pop harmonies, “Get Better”‘s a pretty one. The track’s from Mates Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel’s forthcoming fifth album Re-Arrange Us. In the video, various people in animal masks ride scooters, drive, walk, etc., their way to a party. It’s familiar, though this clip has a more explosive ending. And we think there’s a moral in there’s somewhere, too. Or at least an angelic baby.
Re-Arrange Us is out 5/20 on Barsuk.

Greta, I loved it!
interesting
When I saw the Bat for Lashes video, I thought it was at least partially an homage to Donnie Darko. The Mates of State video is… different. Definitely not as creepy.
Love the song. Can’t wait for this record.
