VIDEO FOR  "PYRAKANTHA" CREATED BY COLIN KENNEDY AND FEATURING DANNY GARCIA
Shot at twilight over the course of 42 days, Colin Kennedy's video for "Pyrakantha" by Balmorhea follows skater Danny Garcia through the streets of LA at the magic hour. In Kennedy's own words: "There's a brief moment each day where the lights of ithe city contrast perfectly with the dusky sky and when I first heard Pyrakantha, I mmediately thought of that moment. For the video, I wanted to suspend that brief window of light over the course of the entire song and by using a skateboarder as a guide, take the viewer on a journey through some of my favorite places in Los Angeles while the last light of day fades into night."

Random people at over 65+ locations and a handful of friends were used as rappers throughout the video. The video was done completely practical (no CGI) and wound up costing a little under $80."

Luke Temple • Don't Act Like You Don't Care
Before the success of his group Here We Go Magic, Luke Temple worked full-time as a plasterer. At nights after work, he spent his hours crafting what would become Here We Go Magic's self-titled debut. During the days he wrote a completely different set of songs in his head. The resulting record Don't Act Like You Don't Care shines with clarity and daylight, in contrast to Here We Go Magic's hazy aquatic debut.  You can check out the track "Ophelia" here.

Originally recorded by Glass Ghost for their 2009 debut Idol Omen, this version features Sharon on vocals, Eliot Krimsky on Wurlitzer, and Mike Johnson on drums.  You can listen to it here.

“Eliot Krimsky is one of my favorite writers. His left hand is hip hop, his right hand is jazz, and his lyrics are beat. This is one of the first songs I ever heard of his and I was absolutely tickled he wanted me to sing it. I hope I did it justice.” – Sharon Van Etten
