Birds of Toyko - Plans
the timing is just right to talk about this band. Their third album is released this week, this song is the second single from the album, released a couple of weeks back. Phil and I went and saw Karnivool this week too so it just seemed like a good fit. If you listen to triple j or its copycat little brother nova then this is also the album of the week.
BOT are a Perth band, originally most well known for being Ian Kenny's OTHER band (Karnivool being the 1st). However due to their music being far more commercially viable and the fact they have released three albums in less time then Karnivool released two, they are not just their own entity but probably becoming more widely known.
Kenny's voice still shines as the beacon that draws you to this band and how he sustains it with his time spent amongst touring, writing, recording is beyond me.
The video for Plans is heavy into the high speed camera footage ala last week's secondary vid.
Another great video is that for the Broken Bones/Silhouettic singles which was interestingly done, the videos together make up a story but the songs were released in reverse order, so the Silhouettic video was interesting but you didn't quite get the story because you hadnt seen the Broken Bones vid. Pretty interesting marketing/artistry however you choose to view it
as a side note it wouldn't be right not to at least reference 'Vool, so here is a single from their Sound Awake album, great video and probably the more accessable track that wouldn't be that far removed from BOT. All I Know
