Monday Bears: New Spoon Video - Written in Reverse

Director Danny Clinch recently shot a live black and white noir video for Spoon's new single "Written in Reverse," from the band's recently released Transference LP. Britt Daniel sounds a little more distraught here than he did on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show finale, coming off a little more raw and forward than before.

The group is currently on the European leg of their tour, but will be hitting up the Southeastern States later this month. Local fans can catch the band with Deerhunter and Strange Boys at Radio City Music Hall in NY, March 26. Transference is out now via Merge Records.

Thursday Bears: New Strange Boys Video - Be Brave

Austin, Texas garage blues-punk revivalists the Strange Boys debuted the eponymous single of their full-length debut album Be Brave earlier today. The fuzzy, often sepia-toned video stands out like an indie-tuned summer-time get-together (so many hyphens), with little splashes of cheap sincerity and lame and therefore not so lame video effects.

Be Brave is set for release February 2 via In the Red-Rough Trade Records.
