I’d assumed Nite Jewel, aka Ramona Gonzalez and Emily Jane, showed their hand with the video for their lo-tech take on Roxy Music’s “Lover“: Conch shells, glitter, rainbow streaks, and shag rugs send a strong, not always positive message. The Los Angeles electro-pop duo switch things up, though, via the ocean-side stop motion dance routines in this playful Erin Dunn-directed clip for their Want You Back EP title track. That said, the pulsing flowers, crystalline waves, and little fox at the end of the video feel more aligned with their earlier karaoke routine.

Want You Back is out via Italians Do It Better. Here’s “Falling Far” from the “Falling Far” b/w “Spiritual Nite Life” 7″:

I just wanted to say that I think brendon’s writing is really great. I was noticing that the posts were really well done and smart lately and everytime i think that i notice his name. way to go, bro.
I like Brandon’s posts too. So much that I even learned how to spell his name.
I’ve been ready to love this band after reading the “sounds like Kate Bush meeting Gary Numan at the bottom of a bong” description of their SXSW performances, but I’ve never been able to hear either of those artists in any of their songs. It’s nice enough though.
maddona would own the summer with a song like this if MTV still existed…
