new film clip in progress

my man in adelaide bob jarvis has spent a big chunk of time in the last few months making a film clip for my song “coach” – and he is just now starting to leak some of the details out onto the internet via his blog. check out this behind the scenes still:

yes. i’m blogging on my blog about a guy on another blog who is blogging about me! i have dreamed of this moment ever since the invention of the internet in 2003.

check out bob’s blog for more. it is worth mentioning at this point that bob records music under the name zeal, and as some of you probably already know, one of his songs – “yumi and the sky” – appears on my changes ep from late last year. he has recently uploaded to youtube some live footage from a gig he did in adelaide on valentine’s day – so, here check out this live stripped back version of “yumi and the sky”, and if you like what you hear head to bob’s site and buy his ep. i like to blog about my changes friends

visit the faux pas myspace to hear my remix of “yumi and the sky”

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
