YouTube Treats - All The Angels

27 Oct 2009 13:21:44 PDT

Written by SXSW
Well, we have more Dead Confederate videos via the SXSW YouTube Channel than you can shake a stick at. Have a gander at their SXSW 2009 showcase closer "All the Angels." Another fine offering from the Georgia boys whose thick, heavy sound will enchant you in a disenchanting sort of way.

When I worked at SXSW, I always grew tired of other festivals that gave what we were trying to do, a bad name. While regionally-based festivals like True/False, Atlanta, Sarasota, and Hamptons (among many others) try to do good work with good films, there was always something “off” about t...

She ran through a set of covers (Cold War Kids, Beirut) and originals that really showcased her vocal range. And oh her lyrics! Whether it was singing about a woman whose eye she had to cut out (see mp3 above), or a bird she had to kill to stop talking, each song was just a delight to hear.
