Potpourri of Pearls have made a new video and I will dutifully post it here for your viewing pleasure.  This one appears to be a new track from them and it is unsurprisingly great and features that pitch-shifted vocal effect that those Montreal kids have made so popular recently.  The video is probably not safe for work.  Maybe?  A beefcake advisory is in effect.

Potpourri of Pearls – Diamond Harbor

Another Potpourri of Pearls video!  A trip to the orthodontist.  This is one of our very favorite tracks from the record and the video doesn’t disappoint.  I love this band too much.

It looks like Potpourri of Pearls are going to release a video for every track on Why Does Coco Cry?  We’re totally fine with that.  This might be the best one yet.

Potpourri of Pearls – Shadow on My Shoulder

Potpourri of Pearls seem determined to release a video for every song on Why Does Coco Cry? and that is totally fine with us.  This one shares the slightly unnerving, pink-hued aesthetic of their last video and features some spectacular make-up.

Potpourri of Pearls – Birds of Luther

We’ve been posting a bunch of Potpourri of Pearls recently, but we really can’t stress enough how much everybody should go to their bandcamp and buy this record.  This video predates the relatively recent release of the album by almost a year and is adorable and disturbing in equal parts.  There’s also a guy in it who looks a lot like J.K. Simmons and some seriously raunchy lyrics concerning the Dakotas.

Potpourri of Pearls – James and the Cold Gun

When we wrote about Potpourri of Pearls last week we mentioned their excellent cover of Kate Bush’s James and the Cold Gun, and this week it’s gotten the patented Kate Bush twirling around in flowing garments video treatment.  Watch it and twirl like the pretty princess you know you are.

COCO CRY

Potpourri of Pearls – Good Arrangement

Potpourri of Pearls are from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania is totally a border state if you sort of cheat!) and put out their first record, Why Does Coco Cry? in November.  It’s a wildly eclectic collection of Hi-NRG tinged synthpop that at turns recalls such 1980s electronic luminaries as Communards and Dead Or Alive.  Good Arrangement is the leadoff track and it’s deliriously enjoyable.  Super sweet horn cues, slinky bass line, and a cheeky little bridge.  Also worth checking out, their cover of Kate Bush’s James and The Cold Gun.
