Video: Bryan Scary “Ballroom Kid” (Live at BreakThru Radio)
Brooklyn-based psychedelic pop musician Bryan Scary will release his third LP Daffy’s Elixir on NYC’s Paper Garden Records on April 24th. The album is a veritable mind-fuck that spans genres, breaks rules and tests its listeners unlike any release in recent memory. Those may sound like knocks, but I actually dig this release. The playful, operatic approach is theatrical and flamboyant in ways that immediately call to mind Queen’s most ambitious material. I played the hell out of Queen’s Greatest Hits as a kid, so Daffy’s Elixir serves as the welcome return of a forgotten friend. A video from Scary’s recent performance at BreakThru Radio is featured below. Scary is backed by a sizable cast of characters that his bold sound demands. Watch their performance of “Ballroom Kid” here:

Video: Norah Jones “Happy Pills”
A while back, we featured a new single from Norah Jones called “Happy Pills.” The song was produced by Danger Mouse, and takes Norah away from the keys and into the mold of the indie songstress. Today, Jones released a video for the song. Pre-order your copy of her forthcoming album Little Broken Hearts. The LP is scheduled to drop on May 1st via Blue Note.
