Throw Me The Statue

I first came across them on the wonderful The Take-Away Shows website.
Everyone needs to watch these videos.  They’re shot on the Seattle Bainbridge ferry, which I haven’t been on, but I kinda want to ride now.
The glockenspiel player just goes crazy. Â A little crazy on the Lolita track, but a lot crazy on their cover of Guided By Voices‘ My Valuable Hunting Knife.
Wonderful stuff.
You should also read the post and watch the first video. I’m not a cinematographer so I’m still trying to figure out why I like The Take-Away Shows’ videos so much. Â But if I had to pick a word, it’d be organic.
You can hear a little of the environmental noise, but they’re still wonderfully recorded. Â The musicians just kinda deal with whatever happens. Â In the Architecture in Helsinki videos, they’re marching down the street and a car honks at them. Â And it just works.
