Video Thao With The Get Down Stay Down - “Bag Of Hammers”

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Mon, Apr 7 at 2:24 PM

It’s official: I am completely obsessed with the new album, We Brave Bee Stings and All, by Thao With The Get Down Stay Down. The thing is a sugar-rush of goodness, and sounds, at least to me, like a perfect blend of the pop-stylings of Basia Bulat and the wide-eyed wonderment of Milk-Eyed Mender-era Joanna Newsom.

Above all else, though, is this album’s ability to put me in a good mood. Never mind the fact that it’s April and not even 50 degrees outside right now: after watching this video once I can think of nothing but sunny days and eating ice cream cones.

Thao With The Get Down Stay Down are playing the Someday Lounge on April 15th.

Comments

Thao is actually playing SOMEDAY LOUNGE on April 15th with Plants and Horse Feathers. And it is going to be rad!

Whoops! Thanks for being my fact checker there, Miranda!

And yes, that show is going to be rad.
