Crystal Stilts’ Alight Of Night should be on more year-end lists. If you still haven’t taken a listen after our repeated urgings, here’s another opportunity: the Brooklyn band’s dusky, melancholic ’80s-esque noise pop makes a nice foil to grainy footage of the band and their friends having fun in the Army of Kids-directed video for one of the album’s standouts “Prismatic Room.” You get a lot of sunspots, trees, folks kidding around or sleeping. It often seems like bummed, baritone frontman Brad Hargett’s off somewhere by himself, or at least by himself behind those sunglasses, which makes as much good sense as drummer and friendly bartender Frankie Rose smiling for the camera.

Man I love them. They were a big hit here at the radio station in Minneapolis.
Yeah, anyone who has met frankie knows exactly how “friendly” she really is.
Where may I purchase one of the fine sweaters from the moving picture?
you’re right, brando: cats are sleeping on this album. it’s great.
This video is sooooo good.
Don’t be fooled! Frankie is only friendly long enough to use you as a stepping stone!
Nice video, though.
