New and very funny video from Festival, a folk-pop outfit out of Brooklyn who record for Language of Stone. Granted, my bias is clear, as I’m friends with ex-Stylusite, sometime Pitchfork writer, Mike Powell, the band’s drummer/viola player/poolboy heartthrob. But the song’s quite good, particularly when the drums and tambourine come clattering in around the minute mark.

Also see Mike Orme’s ‘Fork review of the band’s debut LP, Come Arrow Come. Which contrary to popular belief is not a concept record about an arrowhead with a case of serious wanderlust.
