Ramona Lisa - Arcadia (video)

Caroline Polachek, the prolific frontwoman of Chairlift, the Dev Hynes, Jorge Elbrecht, Washed Out collaborator, and Beyonce songstress is materialising once again, with a new solo project by the name of Romona Lisa. Based on this first single, Polachek (or Lisa) is in the business of conjuring up misty Avant Garde melodies centred around synthetic pads and haunting vocalizations. This nouveau sound swirls somewhere between Gregorian chant and Vashti Bunyan. What is it that Polachek is pining for? No one knows.

I Can't Stop Having These Visions

Awww yeah, Fever Ray had the best vid of 09 thus far(in my opinion) but now Kanye takes the spot! Mr. West debuted his new video for "Welcome To Heartbreak" recently and its off the chain! Director, Nabil explores the use of a new pixilation technology pioneered by the video for Chairlift's "Evident Utensil." Kanye takes it to the next level here, morphing into a capri-sun dude and then while different oil stain rainbows shift around him. Visually this clip is very stimulating, you're welcome!:
