Julia Weldon’s latest Music Video

JULIA WELDON
PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR 
“YOU NEVER KNOW”

“You Never Know” is one of themost vulnerable tracks on Julia Weldon’s sophomore album Light Is a Ghost.

Produced by Saul MacWilliams (Ingrid Michaelson, Dan Romer) and featuring Adam Christgau (Sia, Tegan and Sara) on drums, the album showcases Weldon’s storytelling, voice, and unmistakable charisma.

She draws on everything from indie folk to blues rock, dialoguing with current artists like Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and Cat Power as well as legends like Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith and Suzanne Vega.

Julia Weldon’s possessing personality and captivating music crosses bridges and divides. With unfailing fingers, she tells stories that feel both intensely personal and widely universal. Unapologetically herself, Weldon’s songs grab you— asking you to pull up a chair, pour yourself a whiskey, and stay a while.

The song overall I liked.  I was a little zoned out at the beginning because the intro was a little too long and she didn’t actually start singing until a bet later than what I would’ve liked.  Be careful not to lose the audience.  I like that you went with a melodic song and really enjoyed the lyrics to.  I think the beginning of the video was really confusing and it could have been executed a bit differently.  Overall I think Julia has a lot of great things going for her and is looking at a bright future of growing and conquering.  April B.

Phildel has a strong high voice.  Her style of music reminds me a little of Enya.  It is very melodic and has a mystical sound to it.  The videos carry that feel as well, especially with the black masks that the women wear. Check her tour dates below and be sure to mark you calendar for the date in your community.

Julia Weldon releases Careful in the Dark Music Video

JULIA WELDON

PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR 
“CAREFUL IN THE DARK”

“Careful in the Dark,” is heavy on narrative. Visually resplendent and with costume design reminiscent of the fantastic work in Wes Andersen’s Moonrise Kingdom, it initially explores natural beauty and territory.

At first it seems it’ll be about two lovers’ virgin adventure into uncharted territory. In some sense it is, but that uncharted territory turns out to be riddled with obstacles. Moving from wrestling matches to pillow fights, the video charts the course of a relationship, through its highs and lows. As Julia sings that she is “hopelessly drawn to the battle and the blood,” we see why: the drama is engrossing, and even when it’s bad, it’s intense, full of meaning.

This is a very simple song with a slight folk sound.  As mention above its about relationships and how they have there ups and downs.  The main thing to remember is you have to work on relationships.  Sometimes people take the easy way out, but if you go through those rough patches the relationship grows stronger.  So I like that Julia kept this song simple and told a story with it.  You can check out the video here from Julia’s YouTube page:

Metropolis America’s latest Single and Music Video

Metropolis America
Release “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” Video
Indie – Steedog Records

METROPOLIS AMERICA RELEASE VIDEO “A STOLEN HEART IN A STOLEN CAR”   “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” is an ode to the recklessness of youth. It’s about living in the moment, transgressing boundaries, and feeling the euphoria that comes with not giving a fuck.   Its video, perfectly captures the essence of that rebelliousness. Focusing on two girls who have run away from home and rejected the banality of their formal existence, their escape is alive with the feeling of being young and drunk on life, drunk on possibility but also on drama.

The video is directed by Mate Valtr and produced by Brian Sperber and their efforts and production show a clean short film that has the beginning, middle, and end.  These are the types of music videos I appreciate because they tell the story from the song.  Their hard work has paid off by giving Metropolis America a great music video to go with a great song.  Check it out below from Metropolis America’s YouTube channel:

Ep. 14 of ComicPop Visits with Young Lyons’ Lead Singer John Lyons

Ep. 14 of ComicPop Visits with Young Lyons’ Lead Singer John Lyons

Join us as we visit with John Lyons, lead singer of the band Young Lyons.  During the visit we discuss Young Lyons’ EP Crash Course.  One of our discussion points is the lyrics to the song “Girlfriends Got Me Down”, which centers around the use of an explicit word.  So this is your warning if you are listening in a public place or at work you might want to wear headphones.  However, don’t let this dissuade you from listening to the visit, because it was a great discussion, not just on how lyrics can effect a song and make it have more emotion by using different words, but the bands style, influences and the music industry in general.  We had a great time and enjoyed having John on the show.  You can click the link below to listen to the visit, go to our website, www.comicpoplibrary.com, or catch it on our iTunes feed when it uploads a little later.

I want to thank Karla MacDonald, of the Muse Box, for coordinating this visit.  You can check out their site below along with Young Lyons site and Facebook page.
