Watch an Apocalyptic Fling in Radiation City’s Video for “Zombies”

“Animals in the Median” threw its hat into the ring for one of the best albums of 2013 some months back, and with their video for “Zombies”, Radiation City put a delightful visual on one of their more single-friendly tracks.

The found-footage-meets-narrative video directed by Matthew Gamlen blends together a light apocalyptic tableau with young love-sparked romp. It’s striking, but with plenty of subtlety to leave it open to interpretation, much like the album itself.

Watch the video here, and if you haven’t heard any other tracks from the album, listen to the soulfully despondent “Summer Rain” here.

New Radiation City, “Zombies”

Portland indie/vintage-pop outfit Radiation City are currently putting the finishing touches on the follow-up their fantastic debut album, The Hands That Take You. The first track they’re debuting, “Zombies”, follows through on their normal blend of doo-wop and indie pop, but with a ghostly tone that matches its namesake. The album, Animals in the Median, will be out May 21 on Tender Loving Empire.

If you’re already familiar with this band, you’re not going to be let down. If you aren’t, this is the track you need to hear to get hooked.

Babies

I’m loving this new track from Portland dreamers Radiation City. ”Babies” (below) follows that earlier track ”The Color Of Industry” I posted back in August and I’ve gotta say, keep them coming. The band are about to head out on a west coast tour next week and continuing to work on their sophomore full-length out next year.

Try out this Portland-based band Radiation City and their song “The Color Of Industry“. The group have just announced a coast to coast US tour behind their debut full-length, The Hands That Take You, out September 27th with Tender Loving Empire. The band originated when founding members Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison first put their heads together founding DIY cassette tape label, Apes Tapes. Being on the label side of thing opened their ears and pushed them towards writing songs together.

Great result, check out “The Color Of Industry“.
