With the passing of Leonard Knight, the artist behind Salvation Mountain, this video for Jesus Sons‘ "All These Furs," feels more than appropriate. The cinematography captures a nostalgic beauty that not only honors the late artist and his work, but pairs like a fine scotch with the song’s celebratory energy. Following the migratory pattern of myriad garage rockers in their class, Jesus Sons transplanted to LA from San Francisco, only to enrich our rock scene further. If you want to get nerdy about gear, these boys can stand up to the test. While the aesthetic may seem a bit on the nose, Jesus Sons pull it off with pure authenticity. You get the impression that they really do drink their whiskey straight out of the bottle while riding motorcycles through the desert searching for raw life experiences. Snag their debut LP released last month on Mock Records, peep the video below and catch their raucous live set tonight at Harvard and Stone. – Jacqueline Caruso
