Everybody’s Heart’s Breaking… NOW.

How are you and your heart doing this fall? Broken? Whole? In love? Beating too fast? Stopping and starting suddenly? Burning? Aching? Pulsing in Morse code? No matter what metaphoric state it’s in, Lavender Diamond’s new album, Incorruptible Heart is sure to do it a world of good.

Over a year in the making and produced by Damian, Incorruptible Heart is available now on OK Go’s very own Paracadute imprint.

While in upstate New York starting work on the next OK Go album (!!), Damian recorded a cover of one of his favorite songs on the album, “Everybody’s Heart’s Breaking Now.”

Lavender Diamond made a video for the song, too, in which you can watch their incomparable leader, Becky Stark, fly, fall, and twist through space, looking for any and all entry points into your heart.

Incorruptible Heart is ready for you. Are you ready for it?

PYYRAMIDS of the Northeast Webcast

| Leave a comment

For those wondering about the odd seismic rumblings around the eastern seaboard this week, well, climate-change or no, it’s worth noting that PYYRAMIDS have been in the area. They play in Boston tonight and Brooklyn tomorrow. If you live in either of those fair burghs, both shows have much to recommend them. In Massachusetts, you can get all backwards-talky with Tim and Drea in the Twin Peaks-inspired Red Room at Cafe 939. And, if you’re in the New York area, you can see Tim perform in the ancestral home of his beard, Brooklyn.

And if you’re in neither of those places, have no fear, because the Red Room show tonight will be webcast! Tune in around 8:45 eastern time for a set by old OK Go pals Eytan and the Embassy (the charming lads behind the “Everything Changes” one-take video). PYYRAMIDS hit an hour or so later, running on standard rock club time.
