Little Scream, Big Voice

today is one of those days at work where i find myself wanting to pull a naomi campbell and throw my wacom tablet at someone's head (not to mention i just discovered my fly has been down for an unknown amount of time). that's basically my build up for letting you know i don't have much time to blog today. in my 15 minutes of down time/"serenity now" pep talk, i want to share little scream aka laurel sprengelmeyer (that's some last name, boy) with you. she's all the rage these days, linking up with members of arcade fire and stars for her album the golden record. listen to two of her buzzed about tracks below (showing off her diverse sound).

if you like sprengelmeyer (i really love saying that name): check out washington (she's a favorite of ours here at doors)

"Cannons" by Little Scream by DOJAGSC

Little Scream - The Heron and the Fox by stanaleshin

here's a washington song, also. she's so cute.

Buffalo - The Phoenix Foundation

I actually first heard this song because someone made a stop motion wedding video to it and the good folks over at Design*Sponge, posted it. These guys have been around for awhile it seems, but seeing as they are from New Zealand, we have only just begun to get decent word about them here in the states. Their fourth and latest album Buffalo was released here in January and the title track is the second single off it.

I'm a sucker for a slow buildup of sound and videos that are magical and nonsensical and altogether gorgeous. Plus I could totes hold my breath longer than this kid. Double dare you not to get into this song.
