[video] Datarock // California

Written on November 11, 2011 by in Music

The video for Datarock’s “California” lays the love for the Golden State on thick, making it seem as though the whole state is blanketed in sunshine for 365 days each year. I suppose, however, that if you’re from Norway what you know about California is what you see on television and in movies, so I can’t fault the band for that feeling. Having never been, I want to get to California too, but I’d settle for San Francisco and Wine Country. The single is out now through the band’s own imprint, Young Aspiring Professionals.

[mp3] Can’t Get “Amarillion” Out of My Head

Written on September 28, 2010 by in Music

datarock cover red [mp3] Cant Get Amarillion Out of My HeadI’ve been away from the music world for the past several days, not listening to anything new and generally being quite unaware of goings on. For that reason, plus my crappy computer’s current performance and this terrible mood I’m in, I am going to be very short for this afternoon’s post and just give you a song I couldn’t get out of my head this past weekend. We’ve posted it before and it isn’t new, but it’s still damn good.

Datarock – Amarillion

Written on February 8, 2010 by in Music

I don’t have the rest of Red, so I don’t know if the band gets into styles as diverse as what they reference in this track, but I suppose I don’t really much care.  As much as I can feel nostalgic for an era that I didn’t experience except for through movies, and one that I remember now through kitsch and comedy, on “Amarillion” Datarock makes it seem like being 16/17/18 in 1985 is something that I would have enjoyed.
