I haven't had as much time as I
normally do to browse around for music this week, but one of the artists
that stuck out in my limited searching was Pepi Ginsberg. The songbird
from New York just released her third full length, and she has been getting
some love from the likes of Pitchfork and Stereogum, which means she must be
good. Or something. Anyhow, if you want you can check out more
about the aforementioned Red over at Park The Van Records (Dr. Dog,
Tulsa). While you do that I'll see if I can't find any word as to
whether or not her two previous efforts were good listens. Or, if you
know such information you could just tell me and I will get right back to
waiting anxiously for the weekend to arrive. Enjoy.

Ginsberg - The Waterline:
This is a song that's hard for me to properly describe since
I pretty much just want to hand it to you in person with
only a smile on my face as an indication of what you should
expect. However, since that isn't a realistic option I
will say that I really appreciate the fact Pepi is doing
something as refreshing (and maybe even a little
adventurous?) as this gem instead of kicking back and
pushing out a bunch of the normal blandness that a lot of
songbirds go with in the sound department.
There isn't
much to this video that was made for the song you just
downloaded, but Pepi walking down the street with various
trippy effects happening all around her actually works
nicely.
