Memory Tapes’ Seek Magic is one of my favorite albums of the last few years and joyfully, they have a second album called Player Piano coming out soon (July 5th). Below is the bizarre yet beautiful music video for “Yes I Know.” I just love this song. It’s quiet and shambling, pretty and haunting, filled with a synth line from Dire Straits and old organ and flute sounds from the 60’s. It’s basically perfect for listening to while wondering around at two in the morning.

This reminds me a bit of old OMD or Ultravox.
Well, OMD is one of my all-time favorite bands, so that might explain why I like it so much.
