New video for Yeasayer’s O.N.E., which is actually set in a secret club for aliens. The whole Terminator 2 thing is all right, but I really dig how these imagined aliens boast such rad, ’80s-style neon threads. Reminds me of New York. I miss New York.

If people are psyched on it, it’s going to get out there, because there is a demand for it…. Obviously you want people to buy your record, mostly because that’s the way you make a living. But also the packaging is important to me. I like putting work into that side of it and having it become these fickle ones and zeros floating around cyber space—it’s not very romantic.

“Madder Red,” by Yeasayer

Chris Keating: “I wanted [Odd Blood] to sound like something made by aliens who came down from the future and evaluated culture by listening to different club music from different countries.” I’ve held off posting audio from this album, but it comes out tomorrow, so enjoy.
