Time for another installment of my favorite video finds of the past week:
Recorded by the talented Austrians at They Shoot Music, the first video is of Thao With The Get Down Stay Down playing “Body” in a hotel bathroom in Vienna. The band uses any and everything they could find in the small space (hairdryer including!), making for an interesting live rendition of the track:
The next amazing video is of Spanish electro-sampling extraordinaire El Guincho playing “Kalise” in the Los Angeles Natural History Museum rainforest exhibit. Recorded by the good folks at Dublab, Pablo Díaz-Reixa’s textured music matches perfectly with the dense foliage of his surroundings:

Fortunately the music scene here is first rate, and Reporter is certainly one of those bands that have caught the attention of ears everywhere.
