Lymbyc Systym – Ghost Clock (instrumental escape)

ooo, pretty

This video is almost as good as that ad for Bravia with Jose Gonzalez and all the bouncy balls. In addition to the visuals for Ólafur Arnalds’s “Ljósið”, the song, too, is quite pretty.

hot summer jam 09

“1901” by Phoenix has been out as a single for awhile now, but I’ve been waiting to post it until a video came along.

Enjoy (and get ready to listen on repeat, it’s that good).
