Music Video Mondays: Foxygen go mellow + The Rebel Light get collage-y

California's Foxygen suffer from an unfortunate band name, but luckily make up for it with sweet, playful tunes, that combine Dylan-esque warbles with Hair-inspired moments of grandeur. The band was BNM'ed by Pitchfork last month, and also featured as our January "artist to watch" over at XPN...and this video has such a lovely, lilting melody and color palette:



"San Francisco" appears on the record We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic (yes, really!), out now.



And from the department of random things that landed in my inbox...here's a pretty sweet vid from LA's The Rebel Light, collaging so many of our fave moments (is that The Never-Ending Story I spy?) into one epic, montage:



The band's debut, self-titled EP dropped a few weeks back; scoop it up for free via Bandcamp.
