After a few weeks of hearing about the video and new LP being worked on with The Sky Drops' Monika Bullette, and Rob Montejo (formerly of Smashing Orange), we couldn't wait to see and hear the results! The exciting new LP, which has been titled Bourgeois Beat, will be released on August 11th, 2009 and has the duo setting off on a few tour dates in PA, Michigan, and Delaware in support of its release. If you live in Philadelphia, the best date to make it to will be their Mojo 13 date featuring Matador's Dead Meadow, plus Philly's Three 4 Tens and The Empty Shapes on Friday September 18th, 2009. Three of the tracks from their upcoming album (Heavy Penny, Swimming With Fishes, and Bourgeois Beat), can also be heard on their myspace page as a preview, and we have one of their upcoming tracks from the album that can be downloaded here:
The Sky Drops - Swimming With Fishes
For the "Truth Is" video (a song that swoons into a veritable summer sunset of shoegaze; definitely twisting a little MBV into our veins in this Sky Drops' low-anthem beat), the duo used good friends and local photographer and artists' Justin Clowes and Joe Castro. Clowes, and Castro (who also played with Bullette in local band NERO), came together to make the brand new video with the duo; a mixed result of artistic footage shot on Super 8mm film, and with its late 70s split-screen action, Bullette and Montejo pull off a job, looking like agents dropping off the goods for Rob's twin, or is it? Watch their new video "Truth Is" below:
