[Music Video] The Ancestor – Darlingside

Remember our ongoing series titled In The Neighborhood where our own production crew pick out aesthetically interesting locations to film bands from all over stopping into Philadelphia? Sure you do.

Anyways, earlier this year Darlingside (MA) caught up with us in the Old City and performed their beautiful song, “Ancestor,” for us. It was amazing to hear the version live with such minimal instrumentation so when the band sent over to me their official video, I was stunned with how different (and incredible) this version sounded.

Watch (and listen) to the recently released animated video that’s a collaboration between Chinese Takeout and Crazy Lake PicturesI absolutely love everything about it.

In The Neighborhood Series Ep. 02

Whew, we’ve been busy! But finally, back from our production guys, our second installment of In The Neighborhood is complete and ready to watch.

The gentleman of Darlingside were kind enough to stop by and perform a quick live version of their track, “The Ancestor,” off of the band’s 7″ teaser series leading up to their debut album slated to release this July. I’ve featured their music before on the blog, especially loving on the harmonies they create with their distinct string-rock sound. And trust me, they sound every bit as good in person as they appear in their mastered/recorded tracks.

Watch the group hang out with us in Philadelphia and be sure to grab your 7” here.

PS.  anyone from the Philly area know where we shot this in the city? extra points if you can recognize the park/neighborhood.
