“Ready, Able” – Grizzly Bear from Veckatimest (2009)
Kicking off this latest installment of Indie Rock Videos is the just released official video (above) of Grizzly Bear‘s “Ready, Able” from their highly acclaimed 2009 LP, Veckatimest. Check out Yo La Tengo performing “Here To Fall” from their latest LP, Popular Songs, on a rooftop in Brooklyn last month for Pitchfork TV.
Following Yo La Tengo is another Pitchfork TV premier of No Age‘s video for the title track off their latest EP, Losing Feeling. Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman Billy Corgan stopped by David Lynch Foundation’s studios recently to talk about the song crafting process, including his contribution to Lynch’s film soundtrack for Lost Highway.
Beck and The Record Club continue to dazzle with their cover versions of Leonard Cohen songs; during the summer, the club launched their project with various cover songs from The Velvet Underground. Featured below is the video for the Cohen cover of “Sisters of Mercy,” (plus the original track) featuring Beck, Devendra Banhart and MGMT. Lastly, watch a new video from The Valentines, a UK rock band that you probably unfamiliar with, but hopefully will hear more from in the near future. The vid was sent in by director Liam Simpson.
