The Golden Filter [MySpace] are an electronic duo (Penelope and Stephen) based here in New York whose latest video, “Thunderbird”, just dropped onto the scene and we’re fans. “We’re” means “just me” as of late, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
The 12″ is out now via Dummy and you can own it. Owning things is pretty neat.
Oh, just so you know: “The Thunderbird of the title refers to a bird of Native American mythology when used in chant ceremonies symbolises purification and healing. There are several theories about the origin of the Thunderbird, but the most common is that it is a Condor, a gigantic breed of vulture that once flew over the West Coast of the Americas, and now only lives in Chile.”
I love this clip, I love this band, so check this out, mmm kay?
