VIDEO: “Post Acid”

MP3:“Post Acid”

Wavves recently announced an opening slot for Phoenix and Dirty Projectors at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 20 - the band has since added seven more shows with Phoenix extending all the way down the East Coast (see full list of dates below).

The band also released the new music video for their Green Label Sound single “Post Acid” this week. The “Post Acid” video was shot in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles. Acclaimed DIY photographer/filmmaker Patrick O’Dell directed. Patrick O’Dell, who is best known for his short-form documentary series Epicly Later’d, has also directed music videos for Morrissey and Panda Bear. O’Dell’s “Post Acid” video features friend and professional skateboarder Kevin “Spanky” Long as the alien who befriends the band and embarks on a raucous, fun-filled day of skateboarding, hanging out, and playing a party gig.

When asked about the concept for the video, Wavves’ Nathan Williams said “I’m glad I finally got to fulfill my dream of ripping off the premise of the movie Encino Man… except we replaced the caveman with a skateboarding alien!”

“I love it when a band comes up with something totally bizarre and ambitious rather than shrugging and saying ‘I don’t know, what do you wanna do?’ as they mope around looking cool,” O’Dell comments. “I feel like we’ve almost made one of those fan videos where an anonymous person out there cuts up a movie they like and fits it together with a song they like and uploads it to YouTube. This is one of those videos, but the band just happens to star in the movie.”

MP3: Houses & Teen Daze - “Bikes”

“I got laid off from my job at the end of last year and decided I needed a change. My girlfriend put in her two weeks and we moved out to a little cabin in Papaikou, Hawaii. It’s a pretty remote place outside of Hilo (i.e no plumbing/electricity/gas). We worked for meals during the day cultivating microorganisms and learning the basics of sustainable living. We drank showered and cooked with rain water. In our downtime, she would paint and I would record.

We’d have to light candles in an effort to save solar power to keep my computer running. We inspired each other a lot out there, and I think it shows on the album. The music comes from a place of love and ease. The video for Endless Spring was shot there in our spare time, and the music was sketched out loosely over the course of a few months. We just kind of melted into one person. We were able to keep our heads above water for a few months before we both went broke and moved back to Chicago. I put together all the arrangements and field recordings, and that became All Night. The album was pressed to vinyl on a vintage Neumann cutting lathe and then sent through a series of old analog mastering equipment. It then underwent a digital transfer. The idea is that everyone can hear the very first pressing of All Night. It’s a sonically intimate record and we wanted to capture that feeling in the production as well.” - Houses

DD/MM/YYYY on Daytrotter

MP3:MP3: “Van Tan”

During a short break after a 40-date European tour capped by an appearance at SXSW where the band played an unofficial record breaking 20 shows, DD/MM/YYYY took to the studio to record. The results will see their way onto a new LP in late 2011, as well as a split LP with fellow Canadians, Women. In celebration, the two bands will be sharing the stage for a two-week tour hitting the east coast of US and Canada.

Seemingly always on tour, a result of their most recent European stint was a chance encounter with Geoff Barrow of Portishead and Beak, the latter performing with DD/MM/YYYY in France. Geoff liked the guys so much, he signed them to his label, Invada Records, and will be re-releasing DD/MM/YYYY’s latest album, Black Square, with additional songs in Europe on October 11, 2010. One of the songs, “777″ can be heard on a session the band recorded at the Daytrotter Studios when the they were on tour late last year with These Arms Are Snakes. The band will tour Europe this October through December in support of the album, including another run of dates with Women.

DD/MM/YYYY have also reissued their first full-length album, The Blue Screen of Death as a limited edition LP + 7″ package on Itchy Roof Records, run by Moshe Rozenberg of DD/MM/YYYY, which will be available on their fall tours of the US and Europe.

What the press has said about DD/MM/YYYY:

“Toronto noise experimentalists DD/MM/YYYY might be the only band in the angular- haircut circuit these days to blend their art rock with math. But they’re in good company, ’cause Devo did, too. With spastic overlayed vocals and droning prog guitarwork, tracks such as “Digital Haircut” and “Infinity Skull” from their recent 12-inch release Black Square sound like Stephen Malkmus and Stephen Hawking playing Freaky Friday.”
- Village Voice

“An interesting mix of angular post-rock a la Gang Of Four and the more bizarro rock of bands like Liars.” - Chart
