New release of the day: The video for “Sea Otter Cottage” by Kramies (featuring Jason Lytle).
Colorado-based Kramies stands on the shoulders of indie rock giants Guided by Voices and Grandady, with tracks like “Sea Otter Cottage” that mixes a beginning of eerie synths with 2007-indie-esque dragged out strums and a slow march of piano notes and percussions that build up. The type of sad song Sofia Coppola would use if she and Wes Anderson collaborated on a dark drama with grey washed out skies.
