And The Giraffe, the two-piece, dream-pop outfit, recently released the official music video for "Underground Love," the first song taken from the band's excellent debut EP, "Something for Someone." From central Florida, the alternative pop duo is made up of best friends, Nick Roberts and Josh Morris. Together they make ambient dream-folk music with melodic bass lines and beautiful sax that has an excellent sound and great lyrics.The EP. a dreamy and ambient piece in every sense of the word, is very relaxing from beginning to finish with both Morris and Roberts showcasing their vocal and instrumental talents evenly throughout. "Underground Love" opens the album with a soft electric guitar that echoes throughout the background. Everything about this band, right down to the album title that evokes a sense of longing and lost, is beautifully sensitive. The video fits the song perfectly.
The Harrison Sanborn-directed video depicts the journey of a tiny package as it travels from various hands until it reaches its final destination into the possession of a dashing lady in red. The sound of frontman Roberts' soft vocals sets a dreamy tone throughout the video up to its lighthearted ending. According to Roberts, the video was shot over the course of two days in Los Angeles, and on a budget of only $0. "[We] only ended up spending money on food and parking," he said.
And The Giraffe as an example of heartfelt, organic music. These guys are playing for pleasure, and the passion shows through. It's music from the heart, for the heart. "Underground Love" is a song that roots itself to your brain and stays with you. We all lead pretty busy lives, so it's great that bands like And The Giraffe create music that makes you reflect, even if it's just for a few minutes. Very Bon Iver-esque, their tunes are great for a relaxing day, working through a hangover, or many other occasions.
