Family Band’s album Grace & Lies is out now on No Quarter.
Family Band es una de esas bandas que necesitan tener una mayor proyección, ya que con "Grace & Lies" demostraron que para ser un matrimonio, no necesitan esconder los dotes oscuros que pueden llegar a tener sus mentes, los cuales por lo regular suelen generar una claustrofobia emocional. Además, Family Band parece haber creado un vinculo más especial con Sam Macon , ya que él ha sido el encargado de crear cada uno de los visuales que han entregado para los sencillos que se han desprendido de ese material, como este que pueden ver a [...]
The married New York indie rock duo (and 2009-vintage Band To Watch ) Family Band have a new video for their churning, sinister song "Lace," and it focuses completely on singer Kim Krans, keeping her bathed in eerie red light and flashing her image through darkness. Nothing actually happens in the video, but the editing is unsettling enough that I kept expecting to see a malevolent shape rise up behind her. Sam Macon directs; watch it below. Read More...

Family Band just posted today the third music video from 2012's Grace & Lies for the track "Lace." It was directed by Sam Macon, who is also responsible for creating the beautifully touching video for their song "Moonbeams."
The mystical psych-ambient-folk locals in Family Band released a third music video from their acclaimed 2012 LP Grace and Lies today. Directed by Sam Macon (who previously worked on the band's great "Moonbeams" video), it is a pulsing and frenetic montage of singer Kim Krans performing under moody lights, surrounded by other hazy, indistinct visuals ...

A veces siento que debo comenzar a reclutar gente para que me eche la mano con las actualizaciones del blog, sobretodo cuando ya no ideas para crear introducciones en eventos importantes como este, pero después me entra la 'inspiración' y aquí me tienen. Pero bueno, este fue un año en el que aparecieron un monton de debuts en solitario, entre los que obviamente se encontraron varios que dejaron mucho que desear, así como otro par que debo decir que me tomaron por sorpresa como el de esta bella chica que pueden ver en la imagen de este post, la cual [...]
We can all agree (I hope) that the old "can't judge a book by its cover" adage applies just as easily to albums. From Magical Mystery Tour to Rumours, The Talking Heads to The Smashing Pumpkins, and even this year's standout Cat Power LP Sun, there's a rich history of great music hiding behind heinous ...

Crikey! Family Band's newborn proves so spookily supernatural it glows in the dark. Make no mistake; NYC duo the Family Band belongs to one thing only and that one thing is the night. So much so I'd expect every trace of Grace & Lies' very existence to magically evaporate at first sunlight, just like dreams, vampires and Keith Richards. Prepare then to be amazed as Grace's nine spirits each fill your home with graveyard mist, creaky porch rocking chairs and silvery moons...then at no extra cost, shazam, come...
We didn't get to see too many mind-boggling short-form videos this week, but we did get one long one in which one of our greatest, most ambitious indie bands takes its packed-to-bursting, unapologetically pretentious musical maximalism to the screen, staying bizarre and compelling throughout. That alone makes it a pretty good week. Check for our picks below. Read More...
The SOTO inbox is always full of cool stuff that never gets to see the light of day on the actual site, and I'd like to change that. So, every Friday I'll be posting the best album streams and videos that were sent my way during the week. Take a scroll and find something worth remembering.

Family Band have released a new video for “Moonbeams” from their recently released album, Grace & Lies. The video was directed by Sam Macon and features two skeletons falling in love, which some would argue is impossible without hearts. Watch the video after the jump. The video’s skeletons are played [...]

Husband and wife psych folk duo, Family Band, released their sophomore LP, Grace & Lies, July 24th via No Quarter. You can check out their new video for a cut from the record below. This is Moonbeams.
In the video for Family Band's soft-focus indie-folk single " Moonbeams ," a pair of skeletons share a day of giddy suburban romance after rising from the grave one morning. They steal a bike, go swimming, and manage not to feast on anyone's flesh, so it's a decidedly feel-good affair. Sam Macon directs; watch it below. Read More...
Despues de ver este video para " Moonbeams ", no me queda ni la menor duda de que Sam Macon hizo un trabajo realmente impecable con este track de Family Band , el cual juega el papel del segundo sencillo oficial que se desprende de su mas reciente produccion de nombre "Grace & Lies". Si ustedes se dejaron encantar por el audio de esta cancion desde un inicio, entonces me parece que el video vendra a hacer que le agarren un poco mas de cariño a esto de Family Band . Family [...]
Husband-and-wife duo Jonny Ollsin and Kim Krans of Family Band flip the old "till death do you part" narrative in their new video for "Moonbeams," the mournful ballad off Grace & Lies. Directed by Samuel ... read more
In the words of the Family Band's Jonny Ollsin " skeletons doing anything is awesome" - hence this great new vid.

We had a chance to interview Family Band 's Kim Krans about the band's evolution and her role as the director for the video of the group's lead single "Night Song" from their latest LP Grace and Lies , which you can check out HERE . With the new music video for "Moonbeams" (below), Krans passes the reins to director Sam Macon, who successfully captures the beauty and eeriness found on the band's album in a strangely touching love story.
