Song of the Day

Buy Song: Little Things at iTunes

I found Pomplamoose on YouTube last year sometime, I don’t remember when. Their videographic spark and fun approach to presenting all of their music through creatively edited music videos on YouTube caught my attention. One thing I couldn’t help notice was that Nataly Dawn, the female in this two person home-grown group, doesn’t blink very much when she sings, and the looks she gives the camera come across as oddly hypnotic with a pinch of seductiveness. When I listened to several of their songs and trying to decide which one to post I found myself having to look away so that my ears could communicate with my brain without my eyes interrupting. Snapping out of it isn’t easy because as the songs continue, the video cuts and changes every time a new sound or instrument is used and I find myself drawn into the video the same way a young child would be of a rambunctious street performer with their eyes affixed to the performer, not out of entertainment necessarily but out of a constant inability to draw their attention elsewhere. And so the experience of watching their songs being performed is made even better by the fact that their songs are original, quirky, entertaining, catchy, and well produced.

If you like them I highly recommend that you also watch the following videos.
Beat the Horse
Twice as Nice
