Today, HAERTS shared their official music video for their first single “Wings”. The video premiered on Gorilla vs. Bear and is directed by Emily Kai Bock, who also created videos for Grizzly Bear and Grimes. The single “Wings”, along with the Wildcat! Wildcat! remix, is available through Neon Gold on vinyl/digitally today, April 9th. You can purchase the vinyl here. Beginning this May, HAERTS will hit the road for their first tour with Shout Out Louds. HAERTS debut album is due later this year.
Though i’ve only heard two tracks by HAERTS, with one being a remix, the debut album due out this year is still one i’m most excited about. “Wings” is dream pop at it’s best and the Wildcat! Wildcat! remix has been my jam all week. Stream both below and stay tuned for more (rumor has it a new single is on the horizon).
Now until Oct 20th, hundreds of bands and music fans will take over New York City for the annual CMJ Music Marathon. While CMJ may lack the “big names” you find at Coachella and Lollapalooza, it totally makes up for it with shear volume. There are soooo many bands and artists playing, it’s actually a bit nerve wrecking, trying to decide which acts to see. But what really makes CMJ rad, is the music discovery aspect. This is where you’ll see the next “big name” and it will be in a random Manhattan basement with 10 other lucky people. Personally, this is the music festival I want to attend most. One of these days my dream will become a reality, but until then I am happy writing about it. And hopefully helping this year’s attendees deal with the daunting task of combing through all the music they have at their fingertips. So if you’re having a tough time deciding who to see this week, consider these artists/bands. And last but not least, have fun discovering your new favorite band.
