Video: We Are The Creatures - Wild Combination
Wild combination make cosmic art pop that is had to resist. There is an incescant jangly pleasure to this single from Wild Combination and it's catchy as hell.
Wild combination are a three piece from Essex and this single is released on 31 October. Pan Left have done a two-step influenced remix of 'We Are The Creatures'. That description makes it sound like it should be rubbish but it actually works - it reminds me of Deadboy's sundrenched take on the genre, which is a definite compliment. Check it out and download it in the Soundcloud player below:

Video: Be A Doll (And Take My Heart) - Herman Dune
in video
Video of the week. It entails a blue yeti going skateboarding and having good times. I like the yeti, he looks like fun.
Herman Dune are French duo David-Ivar Herman Dune and Cosmic Néman. Apparently they have a thing for Blue Yetis. This video was directed by Toben Seymour.
Enjoy.

Video: I'm So Unclean - Evans the Death
in video
Winning this week's award for Most Bored Looking Band in Serious Need of Shoes for their Lead Singer is Evans the Death. This video looks like lead singer Katherine Whitaker actually struggled to stop her male band mates from looking wistfully at flowers in fields for long enough to shoot something, god forbid someone might actually pick up an instrument and play something. I presume they are her band mates anyway. For all I know they might a collection of local trouble makers. The sort Cameron worries about. Or her over-protective brothers. Who knows.
Anyway 'I'm So Unclean' is rapid pop infused with door-slamming distortion and agression. It feels perfect for driving too fast on summer days, the only problem being that a) summer's over and b) it's too short (two minutes isn't enough to even get to the Co-op, I checked).
Still, good to know that Whitaker is thinking of us when she's making sandwiches. That's important.
