Video The Boy Least Likely To - "A Balloon On a Broken String"

A Balloon On A Broken String from The Boy Least Likely To on Vimeo.
Normally I would not recommend an indie pop band with a Morrissey-referencing name to anyone that wasn't myself, but I have no qualms with linking to the The Boy Least Likely To, a fantastic UK-duo about to release to release their second full length album, Law of the Playground.
This new song and video for "A Balloon On a Broken String" are, of course, adorable. The breathy-vocals, the xylophone, the synth-line, the shakers, the hand claps, and the "shoo-be-dos" and "tra-la-las" are just about what you would expect, but pretty damn great regardless. Here's to hoping the rest of the new record can live up to not only the last record but this slice of goodness as well.
