Filmmaker Bob Sweeney and Shana Hartzel direct and deliver a layered, captivating video in a dark and drafty wooded area as sing-songwriter Abi Reimold explores “Morning” in this Swell Tone Session. Found on the Forget EP, this live version takes the stirring looped guitar, and combines it with Reimold’s hauntingly heartfelt vocals as the choral sounding background vocals mesh with chilling warmth. The result is breathtaking.

Directed by Elliot Bech, the new video for Alex G’s “ Brite Boy” offers a simplistic yet eye-catching animated approach. The footage follows a fox’s soul-searching endeavor, experiencing death and a rite of passage journey through the desert. It’s a serious subject approached through a lighter medium. Alex G will be perform at Union Transfer on Thursday, April 14 with Domino labelmates Your Friend and Porches. (Photo by Jeff Allen)

Documentary filmmaker Matthew Yeandel recently shared his latest project with co-conspirators Ben Cohen and Deanna Brown – Bahama Jeff Productions. Nest Fest 2 captures the gritty, creative and supportive nature of Philly DIY space The Nest by taking us into their now annual blow out. You’ll find local artists Line Leader, RFA, Husky Bundles, and many others sharing their music and experiences. House resident and fest co-organizer Joey eloquently reveals, "I want people to come here and see what we do, and I want it to influence them enough to a point where they feel genuinely impacted." Much love to The Nest and the rest of Philly’s DIY community for helping to make our music scene so rad! (Photo by Lina Xinos)

Here’s a little something to help get this short Thanksgiving workweek going. Check out Philly’s own GrandeMarshall‘s long-awaited Fool’s Gold LP My Brother’s Keeper! The fourteen-track album features contributions from Ben Pramuk, Sam Greens, GLC, Wara (from the NBHD), and more. Enjoy!

Join Krispy Kareem, Gingerlys, Old Maybe, and Line Leader for a Sunday Fun Day show at Venue Boy. Krispy Kareem will bring their wide-ranging sound that spans from chugging folk-pop inspired rippers to emo-tinged pop-punk anthems – and sometimes both within the same song. The band has a talent for moving through a diverse, sometimes genre-traversing dynamic range, employing guitar flourishes that tip the cap to the whimsical fretwork of Cap’n Jazz as well as classic tenor-baritone vocal interplay that fits together like lamb and tuna fish. Gingerlys adhere to a similarly energetic pop-punk style, but soak the whole production in reverb. The result is something that sounds like Slumberland circa 1996 – I’m talking bands like Velocity Girl or Rocketship, drenched in liquidy synth pads. Soft, murmured male-female vocals further locate them within the fuzzy tradition of MBV-influenced 90s noise pop. Old Maybe composes succinct, minimalist, occasionally dreary, always otherworldly bedroom ditties that capture fleeting, sometimes inconsequential moments and emotions. The project at times seems like a spider web used to ensnare passing sonic ideas, but the inspiration underlying each experimentation is clear. Line Leader is another lively, garage-punk-inclined act who weave through unwavering surf jingles and raw, driving Wipers-style jams. Venue Boy, (Please contract one of the acts or venue for more info.), 7pm, $5-$7, All Ages – Bryce Woodcock

As the week draws to a close, one eagerly awaits that opportunity to break loose, when the work is behind you (at least for a moment) and the volume dial goes way up. Hound is the type of band you’ll want to push the decibel levels with. Loaded with menacing metal riffs and a thriving, full-bore backend, the intensity is instantaneous with raw, raunchy jams that pound into your skull in a way that classic metal/hard rock enthusiast will appreciate – heavy with an uncompromising force prepared for all comers. Tonight, Hound forges the way to a pair of Nashville bands, the loose-rolling, tight-turning immediacy of Music Band and the shred-tastic, pop-rock marriage known as Diarrhea Planet. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, $13, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Maine tranplants Friendship have a new music video for their track "You Seemed So Much in Luv," found on their latest album You’re Going to Have to Trust Me (Burst & Bloom Records). The video was directed and choreographed by Antonia Z. Brown with the solo dance performance by Hillary Pearson. You can catch Friendship performing in Philly on Monday, December 14 at All Nite Diner in West Philly.

While Kississippi’s new EP We Have No Future, We’re All Doomed will be released tomorrow via Soft Speak Records, you can stream it now over at Brooklyn Vegan. Recorded with Modern Baseball‘s Jake Ewald, the album embraces a graceful pensive movement – the dreamy shimmer of vocal harmony and a steady yet relaxed beat presence. The sound winds around your mind in a reflective stroll that you’ll simply want to move with.
