The first video is for "Ambling Alp," the first single off of Yeasayer's new album, Odd Blood. If you like Yeasayer, you'll probably dig this song. I've always been pretty so-so on this band, and this song strikes me as cheesy as hell. The lyrics strike me as something a 12 year old might come up with during a period of free-associative writing. This should come as no surprise if you look at the song name and album title, which could only have been decided on because the words "sound cool together." The video, however, is fucking rad.
The second video, on the other hand, is for the totally awesome second or third single (I'm not quite sure. All songs on this record are potential singles, and I think like 5 have been so far.), "Lust For Life," from the debut album, Album, by San Francisco's Girls. This is a band you should all be very familiar with by now, and no I will not shut up about them. The song is a short and sweet pop number about wishing things were different in one's life. The video is hilarious, and as NSFW as they come.
