Pitchfork

Pitchfork party pal and monster mash-up man Jason Forrest treats Paul Brill's "Paris Is On", stringing it up with a little Casio melody, filling out the rests with some beatboxing, and punctuating the refrain with some pretty sick drums. It all fits Brill's brooding verses/cathartic choruses template quite well, and best of all, there's a Joel Trussell video to accompany it.

You may remember Mr. Trussell as the creative force behind the kick-ass clip for Forrest's "War Photographer" or the lovely vid for M. Ward's "Chinese Translation". Not going to lie here: I can't really make heads or tails of this one (Is that thing a stuffed sausage? A paramecium? A Muppet reject?) but it's quirky and fun all the same-- plus the B-boy bugs are an awesome touch. Watch the YouTube right here or click below for a higher quality version.



"Paris Is On" comes from Brill's latest, Harpooner, out now on Scarlet Shame Records.
