French Electropop trio Pony Pony Run Run has blown my mind. I have been listening to Hey You on repeat for like 3 days, and strangely, not because the sound or lyrics are anything earth shattering (though quite good, it will fit in nicely with the rest of my 800 electropop tracks), but the video is what really gets you. Its summer adventure at its best. For those of us stuck in Maine or New Jersey or wherever, its 4 minutes of magic, and who wouldn't want that?.
Hey You follows scruffy french hipster man and willowy, french hipster girl through their seemingly serendipitous meeting and travels in east Asia (Vietnam? Cambodia?). Its frames change to the beat, it's arty yet approachable, and it's exactly the travel experience everyone (ie, me) wants to have. Anyway, watch it and get swept away into their little hipster romance, only to see her walk away at the end on a white sand beach. Why does summer love always have to end so soon? Why is this song only 4 minutes long?! Why am I not leading their life?!
Anyway, I hunted down the album called You Need Pony Pony Run Run, which is only available digitally (yep, iTunes has it) and had a listen. The whole thing is really quite good, and worth your $9.99. Go ahead, you'll earn one more cool-kid gold star for that one in you're library.
