Presumably even hotter than 98 Degrees' first album, And Rising , Christy and Emily's track "105 & Rising," from their upcoming Superstition , has a rather disconcerting new video to go with the song's sludgy, uncomfortable guitar pulse.

The track seems to be derived from somewhere between John Cage and the Melvins, its meandering guitar leads fitting the song's somber mood. [ Fader ]
