Vincent Moon and his site has already gotten a lot of press and online buzz, but I felt the need to post this here too. Like many other things, I've been meaning to check out his site, and just finally got around to it. I'm glad that I did. It's pretty exciting stuff.

The video below is part of his Take-away shows series, filming bands in long takes in natural settings playing their music. Au naturale, all live. Below is Grizzly Bear singing The Knife accapella in the streets. The Arcade Fire playing Neon Bible in an elevator is pretty awesome too. Other ones include Jens Lekman, Architecture in Helsinki, Tapes n Tapes, Beirut...a lot of great musicians. It's a great idea and they're fun to watch. It's liberating to see these verite videos without the lighting and the effects and all that. These videos are better than like 97% of music videos.

#10.4 - Grizzly bear - The Knife
