Free Download: The War on Drugs – “Come to the City”

Just a few days ago, I posted the video for The War on Drugs song “Baby Missiles.” Now I’d like to share with you album centerpiece “Come to the City,” where Adam Granduciel takes things to the next level. “All roads lead to me/I’ve been moving/I’ve been drifting,” Granduciel howls and moans over its constant beat, and his epic phased Firebird guitars. It’s a modern American outsider miracle; a straight up jam – inducing fist pumps and goose bumps.

New Video: The War on Drugs – “Baby Missiles”

Click image to watch the video for "Baby Missiles"

Philadelphia’s The War On Drugs’ sophomore album of mile-high rock anthems, Slave Ambient, is due out August 16th on Secretly Canadian. We’ve shared with you the album’s instant classic, part Springsteen, part motorik anthem, “Baby Missiles,” and now you can watch that song come to life with its video. Like the song itself, and much of Slave Ambient, for that matter, the video has the same steering wheel-tapping movement, windows down, feeling the breeze on a summer day vibe.

The “Baby Missiles” video is culled and edited from The War On Drugs’ main man Adam Granduciel’s collection of super 8 film footage. The kaleidoscopic work throughout finds its raw source material in Granduciel’s experimental medium format photography, the very same exposed film featured on the artwork for Slave Ambient. The video is directed by Labour and produced by Greencard Pictures.

Lovin’ this song!

Video: Krista – “Hypnotized”

Check out this super cool video from Krista, which starts out at a basement party and moves on to different spots throughout Brooklyn. Krista is a Sunset Park, Brooklyn native who opened for Kelly Clarkson‘s Summer Tour 2009. She’s signed on with J Records (RCA)/Vel Records and now playing on radios across the country.  Krista melds the aggressive, melodic and powerful elements of rock and pop with the rap she was so influenced by growing up. The chorus of “Hypnotized” reminds me of Robyn. This song is really fun; the kind that gets stuck in your head but your mood actually gets better because of it.
