I’m finding it hard to say much about the video for “Please Concrete” by the Baltimore duo Wye Oak, mainly because I’m struck by its almost-scary resemblance so many daydreams I had as a solitary, sorta-sickly young girl, right down to the muted fall colors. (Sure, the shoegazy indiepop twosome is something of a House Band for this here site, but I didn’t think that would give them a line in to my childhood memories!) Anyway, I suppose “childlike reverie” is kind of a nice thing to be plunged into on a day when the world seems to be going even crazier than usual, right? Ha ha. [Pitchfork.TV]

Was kind of surprised when I heard they were doing a video for that song, since I think of it more as an intro track than a highlight of the album, but hey, nice production values.
I miss b-more, “The Greatest City in America.”
