The third (and final?) video from Lapko's latest. So sayeth the band: "This zany video tells a story of Racewalker's run to his obvious home. Lapko's debut as film directors captures the first music video about athletic walking ever made." Direct link: http://vimeo.com/18452800

MP3: Lapko - A new Bohemia

Lapko's latest didn't leave me with a very strong first impression, but after setting it aside for a few months, I find myself really enjoying it. While far less direct/obvious than previous release "Young desire" (opener "This is aggressive melancholy" said it all in title alone), "A new Bohemia" benefits from a far more developed sense of craftsmanship and confidence. The album title track has so many hanging gaps and odd twisting contrasts that I would consider highly ill-advised, yet never does the song digress into a jumble of aimless riffing. Lapko had shown complex leanings in the past, but never so boldly; deeper listens lead to deeper appreciation.
