4 minute mental break
Just a few minutes ago I found a pretty nice music video and I decided to share it with you guys. It’s the official music video for the song “Golden Cage” by The Whitest Boy Alive. It was made by Mauro Vecchi.
It showcases some of the most famous optical illusions, which in my opinion, is a pretty clever approach and unique way of making a music video. Anyway, see for yourselves…
I also find the music pretty good, never heard of the band before though. I’ve done some quick research and it seems that the band formed in 2003 and they released their first album, titled Dreams, in 2006 on the Asound/Bubbles label (it’s also available on LP).
Their homepage doesn’t say much about the band, as well as their album. One thing that it does say is that the band started out as an electronic dance music project, which is kinda strange as they seem to be playing some restrained, relaxed and pretty mellow indie rock now if you ask me. It seems that they’re touring Mexico at the moment. The site also features a guestbook and has a link to a merchandise shop, where you can buy some band-related clothes or order the album.
In my opinion their music has a Coldplayish kind of vibe to it. I’m planning on looking into the other tracks from their album, as I’m pretty tempted to buy it.
Comments on both the video and the music will be appreciated.

Thank you for recommending good music, I think you are right:
“relaxed and pretty mellow”

I’m glad that you like the music too.
In the meantime, I bought TWBA’s album and it’s very good. The “Golden Cage” track isn’t even the best from it IMHO.
