New Video: Jellyfish Brigade for Best Love is Free 3

23 Jan

In case you haven’t been able to figure it out yet from my numerous Facebook, Twitter, or even previous site posts, I am in love with Jellyfish Brigade.

A good friend introduced me to the group last year and I’ve been obsessed since. It didn’t take long for me to connect with the wonderful Lucas Dix (also of Hives Inquiry Squad) and urge him to submit to The Best Love Is Free, ran by the amazing Botzy in Culture Cry Wolf. Not only has a rap friendship blossomed, but the two got together to make this video for the song “Sunflowers” in promotion for The Best Love Is Free 3, due out in just a few short weeks. And, rumor has it there will be more collaboration work from the two artists in the future. (Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated.)

Check out the video below. Then head over to Jellyfish’s bandcamp to hear more of their music.

The Best Love Is Free 3 concert is set for February 11 at the Fine Line in Minneapolis. Performers include Culture Cry Wolf, Toki Wright, Crunchy Kids, K.Flay, and more. Check out the event page here and get your tickets!

New Video: Sims

13 Sep

 The always-impressive Doomtree camp just released a new video for Sims‘ “LMG”, a personal favorite off his latest full-length, Bad Time Zoo.

Matt Scharenbroich is the mastermind behind the beautiful video, compiled of “tripped out vizualz and 1,600 hand drawn pieces of paper” (according to the Doomtree website). It’s a great representation of Sims and allows an extra visual-emphasis on his descriptive lyrics. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the talented group.

You can pick up a FREE copy of the Wildlife EP, a promotional release from Sims, by clicking here. Be sure to catch Sims on tour with Lazerbeak and Cecil Otter at these dates.

In the meantime, check out the video below.

Out Now: Prof’s “King Gampo”

16 Aug

It’s finally here! The long-awaited album from Minneapolis’ Prof dropped today for (gasp!) FREE!

The album was definitely worth the wait and contains 16 new and banging tracks for your enjoyment. It even features a beat from Sioux Falls’ own DJ Absolute (Soulcrate Music). The tracks are catchy as hell (seriously, try not to get “Yeah Buddy” stuck in your head) and, in true Prof style, impossibly upbeat and fun.

Download the album here and be sure to keep up-to-date with all Stophouse news here.

Prof will be in Sioux Falls on October 1 with Grieves. If you can’t wait till then, I highly suggest a trip to First Avenue in Minneapolis on Sept. 9 for his CD release show with openers Blueprint, Soulcrate Music, and the Get Cryphy DJs.

Now Available: Gills and a Helmet by Jellyfish Brigade

8 Aug

Streaming out of the rainy Northwest, Jellyfish Brigade is composed of Hives Inquiry Squad’s Lucas Dix and friend Jeffrey Acciaioli (aka The Great Mundane). The duo recently launched a six-track EP titled Gills and a Helmet, available for a name-your-own-price. Experimenting with different electronic styles, JB debuts an impressive record in less than 26 minutes. Dix’s vocals fit smoothly over the beats and represent the small (but great) aspects of an average life. Hope, love, regret, change, and spirit are all themes throughout this beautiful record that definitely deserves a spot on your daily playlist.

Get the album here.

Check out my favorite song, “Well Dwellers” below.

“Be loud my love to the clouds above.
It’s the now not the how it was.
No regrets ‘cause the doing’s done.
Each choice we make will be the right one.”

Follow them on the Twitters here.

Prof Interview Extra: Jersey Shore, Taylor Swift, and more!

17 Feb

Lucy: “I literally just got off the phone with Mike, I don’t know why he didn’t just hand you the phone.”

Prof: “Oh … yeah. [Pause.] I’m in the bathroom.”

L: “You are right now?”

P: “Uh huh.”

L: “You … Well you can … finish … and call me back later.”

P: “Naw, that’s ok. [Pause.] I already washed my hands.”

- Awkward laugh (from me). – (more…)
