I’m not sure what it is lately, but it seems like here at Team Marmoset we’ve been into the animation videos lately. Perhaps, it’s because we’re tired of the same ol’ rigamaro or maybe animation is the hot, new medium for music videos. Whatever the case, it brings us to our Video of the Week, “On the Water” from the New York based band, The Walkmen.
How are these guys tied to the Northwest you may wonder… you know cuz we try and profile what’s going on here in the NW. Let’s play the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon game to find out. The Walkmen’s US label happens to be Gigantic Records who just released one of own local favorites, The Builders and the Butchers new album Salvation is a Deep Dark Well. Okay, so there’s only two degrees to the Northwest but for fellow Portlanders, you know there really is only two degrees of separation in P-town anyways.
Is it me, or does this feel a little like Watership Down?
