Jherek Bischoff, new video
We've already mentioned Jherek Bischoff's wonderful new album, Composed, on Leaf this side of the Atlantic (Brassland in the U.S.). A new video has just seen the light of day for the track Young and lovely, which features guest vocals from Zac Pennington (of Parenthetical Girls) and Soko.
The tune is a brilliant, head-spinning combination of fast-paced sections with swooning string flourishes, and brass band style waltzes.
Here's a little background on the video from the director.
"The video for YOUNG and LOVELY is a retelling of the Roman myth of Aurora... more or less. It's also a collaboration with our Melbourne family -- the friends Jherek and I made while recording in Australia during the Spring of 2012. We shot in the Royal Botanical Gardens of Melbourne, and in an amazingly wonderful and beautifully weird penthouse (generously lent by David Walsh of the MONA Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart, Tasmania)." - Michael McQuilken, director

Kramies - Inventors video
One of our favourite labels, the Perth-based Hidden Shoal, is 6 years old this month. I'm not sure if the term 'boutique' applies, but there's certainly a care and attention to detail about everything they do that is very satisfying.
And as if to take this approach to a new level, label manager Cam Merton has post-produced and edited the new video for Inventors by Kramies. That's the centrepiece of Kramies' recent EP The European (full name Kramies Windt, he's Dutch originally, but domiciled in the US for some time), from which we featured several tracks on the show when it came out, and which was produced by regular Guided By Voices collaborator Todd Tobias - more about him later in the month. Inventors is a lovely, leisurely slice of dream-pop, blissed out and shimmering. Happy Birthday Hidden Shoal, keep doing what you're doing.

Jherek Bischoff - Composed (The Leaf Label)
There are several reasons to love Jherek Bischoff's new album, Composed.
Firstly, it's on The Leaf Label, who are on a particularly hot streak this year, following two stunning releases already from Matthew Bourne and AU.
Secondly, it features guest contributions from David Byrne, Caetano Veloso, Nels Cline, Carla Bozulich, Zac Pennington and Soko, among others, all of which are sparkling and vibrant.
But thirdly, and most importantly for me, it occupies the musical area known as chamber pop. You know we love a bit of chamber pop around here. This is a swooping, fluttering, brilliantly orchestrated album of tunes which recalls Van Dyke Parks at his best.
I'm not going to say any more for now because I'm still digesting its multi-faceted gorgeousness, but there'll be loads more on the radio show from this in the near future.
