Some photos I shot tonight during a Yours Truly video shoot with Chromeo. The shoot and recording session took place at Different Furs studios in the Mission District of San Francisco, and captured the Quebec-based duo recording never-before-heard acoustic renditions of three tracks from their upcoming album, “Business Casual,” to be released in September 2010. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the focus on musicality on their new album. Paying homage to the “Easy Listening” (their word) moguls from their upbringing, the duo created songs that were capable of being stripped down to the piano/vocals foundation of their songwriting, while keeping the quirky funky-electro flavor that they are so well known for.
This Las Vegas trio just killed it tonight at Milk Bar in SF, opening up for a DJ set by Neon Indian. I actually paid to buy their EP on iTunes because I couldnt find them on the torrents. Check them out.
Thomas and I spent the past week in Maui, exploring the island, and soaking up the beauty of the island. Here are some shots from our trip, none of which do justice to the magic of this place.
