Video The Little Ones - Tonight!

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Tue, May 13 at 11:50 AM

In honor of the fantastic pop sounds of the Little Ones hitting up the Towne Lounge tonight, here is their excellent video for “Ordinary Song.”

This track was supposed to be the first single from their major label debut LP, Morning Tide, but the band got kicked to the curb and that record won’t be released until later this year. The video itself is a gorgeous production with tons of moving sets, an endless cast of varied characters, and some sharp editing that allows all the various scenes to flow together. It’s sort of what Wes Anderson would have done if he was directing low-budget videos for indie bands.

Comments

why? the little ones are horrible. so bad live

Oh, I disagree. I thought they were great live last night. Oh well.

Ok, it's official. I'm old.

I'm one of those old guys, dammitall.

This sound that's so popular right now with the kids drives me nuts -- simplistic beats and candy-coated vocal sounds, repetitive pop lyrics, just drive me nuts. And the youngsters I hang out with all dig it, even the smart ones, even the talented ones.

Which means -- I'm old. The music ain't bad, just my life-span.

Dammit, I thought I was young at heart at least.

Oh well.
