really cool video

Short post: the Ra Ra Riot/Mason Proper show last night was amazing. Watch this MP video for their song "Safe For the Time Being." It's haunting, mesmerizing and beautiful.

It's got one of those rare moments in pop music where the drums suddenly kick in (and it sounds like they're going to usher in a new groove at 4-bar intervals) but then fade out just as quick. They're just amping up the "orchestration" for a second to make a point. I also love the polyphony between all the different vocal things going on at certain points during the verse. Awesome music. So glad I caught them live.
