while i’m on an arkells roll, here’s whistleblower too. directed by a jared raab who is now interesting to me.
the making of video is also faskinating because turns out it’s totally just shooting a live performance from four angles and projecting into a pyramid and spinning around said pyramid catching all the action. just.
oh dear, arkells ain’t that sweet band i used to have to tell people about no more. they’ve got their very own vevo (yuh huh!) and the most hipster (but still darn beautiful) video i’ve seen in recent times. when will i catch them live and post bad concert pictures again?
in the spirit of my tradition (of bad concert photos), i present to you: arkells of hamilton, ontario.
they were awesome. autumn of 2009 at the very terrible sound academy.
after watching the kominas’ excellent live session at bbc maida vale today (suggesting you do too)
i remembered cbc’s also excellent live sessions from patrick watson and arkells. qtv continues to be awesome.
Oh dear. Context.
