Last we mentioned Oakland troupe Kapowski, I professed my adoration for twee lead singer Jesse Rimler in the form of a marriage proposal. He friended me on Facebook, so it’s probably gonna happen.
Now Kapowski returns to our blogroll with a new mp3, "Section Eight," from their soon-to-be-released LP Boy Detective. On "Section Eight," Kapowski has rebounded with the same darling, stylistic middle eight harmonies and indie-tastic bleeps that landed them on our radar in the first place. There’s also a promo video to go along with the track featuring a tux-clad, suburban butler-bot who self-destructs all while a black and white Kapowski plays on the 50s era TV set (watch below).
If you find yourself smitten with Kapowski’s unquestionable charm, they’ll be throwing an album release party at Rickshaw Stop on February 1st along with fellow Oaktowners Mwahaha and Bells.
