Ty Segall – “Californian Hills” [Video]

We always enjoy some Ty Segall and today we get the new animated video for “Californian Hills.” It is another track off of Emotional Mugger and the video for sure will leave lasting images in your head.

The video, directed by Meghan Tryon and Garrett Davis, has a lot going on including jesters, knights and clowns. That is right clowns! Enjoy but don’t watch too many times as you might start seeing spots!

Courtney Barnett – “Elevator Operator” [Video]

Here is a great new video from Courtney Barnett! This is for her new single “Elevator Operator” which was directed by Sunny Leunig (son of legendary Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig, who himself appears briefly in the video) and crammed with cameos.

You will find Sleater-Kinney, Magda Szubanski (“Kath & Kim”), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), and musical Antipodean legends such as The Drones, Tim Rogers and Paul Kelly. This is really what making videos are all about – good times and support for a solid song. You can still catch Courtney on tour at the dates listed below.

Paul Orwell Organized Blues LP – 50 Blue / 350 Black

Paul Orwell is a singer / songwriter from Essex who has great old school sound talent which we loved on his full length debut Blowing Your Mind Away. His new record is an Instru’MENTAL’ album titled ORGANIZED BLUES which will go up on Pre-Order today.

As most Heavy Soul Records release the album is a vinyl only release on heavy wax with only 400 pressed. 350 BLACK VINYL and a very limited 50 BLUE VINYL. His output typically sells fast so don’t delay and look HERE for a copy after 4 PM est today.

Just to get a taste we also included Orwell’s new video for “DON’T DO AS I DO, JUST DO AS I SAY!”
