New Skeletons Video, "Sickness"

As many of you may know, I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. So any group that hails from my state of origin is worth my time ...

Skeletons come from the humble city of Oberlin (although I think they're currently in Brooklyn), which is famous for one thing: Oberlin College. Which ain't a bad music conservatory in it's own right, but ...

Anyway. I digress. Skeletons are a really fantastic band, and that became especially clear with their latest Ghostly International release, Lucas. The LP is a quirky, experimental pop opus ... all starts and stops, off-kilter instruments and arrangements ... lopsided rhythms and ethereal, daunting falsettos ... with an insanely catchy pop backbone supporting it all.

If you've not listened to it yet, get the thing right here. In the meantime, check out their spectacular video for "Sickness" over here. It's all beautifully filmed long-shot, jerky story lines, and an addicting aesthetic appeal. I like.
