This Gainesville, Fla., band sits precisely at the intersection of what the genre police would call “indie rock” and “electronica.” As Hundred Waters has gained fame since the release of its first album two years ago, the quartet’s tour pairings have reflected its ability to win equal appreciation from music-hungry festival goers of different tastes. Two years ago, they were out with Skrillex, and they just wrapped a fall tour with Interpol. Though the record in no way sounds distinctly Southern, Hundred Waters do show their Central Florida roots a bit on the first cut of “The Moon Rang Like a Bell”: “Show Me Love.” You hear the multi-tracked voice of lead vocalist Nicole Miglis singing harmony with herself and delivering lines like “Don’t let me show cruelty, though I may make mistakes / Don’t let me show ugliness, though I know I can hate.” The whole thing rings like a hymn and serves as a fine beginning to a hypnotic electronic record.

“Hunger” is the third single from “TAIGA”, the latest album from Zola Jesus, has just revealed the brand new video for ‘Hunger’ – which will be out on Mute Records on 9th February . The statuesque & frenetic video was directed by Allie Avital Tsypin / BANGS, who described it as “…a sculpture project… an exploration of a life form: both raw and refined.”. it features a new mix of the track by Zola Jesus bandmate Alex DeGroot & Mute founder Daniel Miller.

Zola Jesus has shared the video for “Hunger,” a track off of her shoot-for-the-mainstream record Taiga.  sees Nika Roza Danilova standing in a series of statuesque poses while the camera sweeps around her. “The video for ’Hunger’ is essentially a sculpture project … an exploration of a life form: both raw and refined. A negotiation between form and inner life, movement and stillness, desire and satiation,” BANGS explained in a press release. “Working with Nika is always an honest and satisfying collaboration … it was really fun to interpret the song and Nika’s aesthetic sensibilities through film.” The video features a new mix of the track, which will be featured on a new digital single along with a B-side called “Compass.”

My friend Alex and I made a video for our track “Show Me Love” The band Hundred Waters are a curious case. Their music is so pretty and insular and new-agey that you almost want to think about it in folk-music terms, but they’ve also got the playful rhythmic sensibility of a ’90s IDM producer.  The group is about to release a remix version of their 2014 album “The Moon Rang Like A Bell”, with its chiming lilt and making an already-beautiful album sound even prettier.
