Back to enjoying Tune Tuesday
in all its glory! I don't think we could have a better song to end our hiatus and begin 2014.
1. Foster the People- 'Coming of Age'
Today’s first pick is an awesome
time-lapse video for one of my favorite bands, Foster the People. This is their
latest for ‘Coming of Age’ the first single from Supermodel, due out March 18th.
I think this video is a
perfect fit for the new song, the artwork on the side of the building is the
cover for Foster the People’s second album (Supermodel). The words the lady in
the artwork is spewing are the following poem:
I ate it all; plastic,
diamonds and sugar-coated arsenic as we danced in honey and sea-salt sprinkled
laxative. Coral blossomed portraits in Rembrandt light; cheekbones high and
fashionable. Snap! goes the moment; a photograph is time travel, like the light
of dead stars painting us with their warm, titanic blood. Parasitic
kaleidoscopes and psychotropic glow worms stop me dead in my tracks. Aphids
sucking the red off a rose, but for beauty I will gladly feed my life into the mouths
of rainbows; their technicolor teeth cutting prisms and smiling benevolently on
the pallid hue of the working class hero.
Okay, the poem is more than a little heavy. Way heavier than the song, thats for sure!
Well, I am being really
honest here in saying that new FTP music made my Monday. Seeing the new Foster the
People video, as conceptual it is, put a smile on my face. I LOVED Torches,
their debut album and I cannot wait until March to hear all the new music FTP
has to offer. I think it will be worth the wait if ‘Coming of Age’ is any
indicator. I like that it is a simple song with the same feel as the Torches
album, I can't wait to see what they release next! I have a feeling it will
also be featured right here on your Tune Tuesday blog!
2. Lily Allen - 'Air Balloon'
And, I think we all know how much I love Lily Allen so here is second lighter video for the day. Lily Allen's latest its 'Air Balloon', hopefully the two songs balance each other out for you! They are both on repeat on my iPod.
I don't think I need to say much here. I think Lily needed to lighten up abit herself with a track like 'Air Balloon' after a very serious end to 2013 with 'Hard Out Here' and her cover of 'Somewhere Only We Know'. For my thoughts on 'Hard Out Here' click here.
Yes, enjoy these two tracks. A great way to kick off 2014 with two Kate Bruce favourites!
