pygmy lush - good day to hide

this show was way back in april, and i didn’t take this video.  buuuuttttt this is the best version of the song i’ve ever heard (it’s awesome, i promise), and it needed to be uploaded somewhere.  so…now it is.

seriously, the build in this song is amazing.  and the whole song is a build.

here’s a video of des ark i did take at this show.

stuff i’ve been listening to, ytd, pretty edition.
(artists keep their colors throughout, so changing colors indicates shifting towards new material - the rate of color change and overall “redness” at the end compared to the beginning can be thought of as an indication of evolving listening habits)
for reference, here’s the same thing, 2008 - present:

pygmy lush - it’s a good day to hide

i saw these dudes opening for des ark last weekend.  it was one of those shows where you forget to breathe.  i bought their first album (crazy) and their most recent (crazybeautiful).  aaaand they’re definitely becoming one of my favorite bands.

this doesn’t really capture it all, but what could? it’ll have to do.

des ark - live in cambridge

is this song new?  i think it’s new…i’ve definitely never heard it before.

des ark played at the democracy center in cambridge tonight.  despite the 11:00 curfew, it was one of the best shows i’ve seen in a looooong time.  after the 2nd or 3rd song, the strap broke off of aimee’s guitar - so we all walked to the next room for a quick acoustic/banjo song while it got fixed.

…best idea ever.
