This is another one of my favorite Pomplamoose songs, and it’s another upbeat song! It’s called “Achin’ Heart. It sounds a bit different from their other songs from the start with the drums opening the song. This song is actually my favorite of theirs when it comes to the drums.
As usual, the song is filled with subtle humor, beautiful harmonies, and a huge array of instruments. The video itself is also full of Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte’s silly and charming antics. It’s entertaining, it’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry… okay I don’t think it will make you cry but I bet it will make you want to watch it again!
Well, this brings us to the end of our Pomplamoose Spotlight On:, but you can be sure it won’t be our last post about them!
Please, if you haven’t already, go get lost in their music!
It’s day two of Pomplamoose’s Spotlight On: feature! Hopefully you read about them yesterday and maybe even visited their YouTube. For those that didn’t check out their YouTube, we’ll be posting a few videos of theirs for your viewing pleasure.
“Another Day” by Pomplamoose.
“Another Day” is from the album 3 New Songs Woot!, which is available for $2.97 on iTunes.
“Another Day” is a VideoSong, a new Medium with two rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
Pomplamoose is a duo from Corte Madera, California, made up by multi-instrumentalists Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. They’ve been around since 2008 but have only recently blown up all over the internet. You may recognize them from the recent Hyundai holiday ads, where they were featured singing “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “Jingle Bells”, “Deck the Halls” and “Up on the Housetop”.
So, what the heck is a Pomplamoose, anyway? Well, it’s a derivation of the word pamplemousse, which is French for Grapefruit.
Pomplamoose uses a new medium called VideoSongs, which has two rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
A VideoSong makes for a unique viewing and listening experience, as you can see them in their socks playing piano or dancing around making the stomping noises. It gives you a bit deeper of a connection to the music because you get to see them goof off so they almost start to feel like you’re friends.
Before you check out their YouTube, I must warn you… have some time devoted because you’re gonna get entranced!
Hey everyone! We’d like to introduce a new regular feature to you. Do you remember our Awesome Band Alerts? Well, welcome to Spotlight On:, an extended version of an Awesome Band Alert.
Spotlight On: will focus three days of coverage on one band. We will tell you a bit about them, give you relevant links, MP3s, videos, photos, reviews, and fun interviews.
It’s basically a great new way to discover your new favorite bands without actively searching for them. Pretty cool, right?
