For those of you who were
interested in hearing more about Ridley Scott's latest flick, Body Of
Lies, my full review is currently up in the FILM section. It isn't
wildly in-depth or anything, but I think it will do well in helping you
decide whether or not you should throw down your hard earned cash to check
it out in a theater. As for a bit of music today, I have something
from a group with the nice name of Holy Hail. My guess is that some of
you are probably pretty familiar with the New York-based trio, but
considering that the single below is the first I've ever heard of the act,
my adventures with them have only just begun. Keep an eye out for
BKYLN Independent Pleasure Club, which is due out on November 11 on
Kanine Records. Enjoy.
:Holy
Hail - Elemental:
The band's press release for this tune made it seem like
they'd really like for me to focus on the
politically-charged lyrics, but I'm way more interested in
pointing out the odd mix of pop that's in the sound they're
pushing out. I mean, in just four minutes I feel as if
they manage to hit on a thousand different styles, and they
do it without much change in the vocals. Weird?
Yes. It clearly works though, as I repeatedly keep
finding myself ready to hit the play button.
Here's the
slick video that was made for Born Of A Star, which
contains the absolutely awesome lyric of "give me money and
steal my soul." Watch it now!
