Take Your Picture Video / My Old Kentucky Blog
A while back we turned the spotlight on Chicago’s Gypsyblood, a noisy little combo with a history of in-fighting, codependency and a snazzy debut in the form of, Cold In the Guestway. Today we’re happy to report that the band is still alive and well, and what’s more, we’re pleased as punch to be premiering the video for Take Your Picture, a noisy little number that starts with an innocuous-sounding U2ish riff before taking a hard right into more abrasive, albeit still pop-friendly, territory.
My Old Kentucky Blog: My RKO is MIA
Music makes for some twisted, codependent and abusive relationships. Lennon and McCartney. Jagger and Richards. Loggins and Messina. The list goes ever on. Longtime friends Adam James and Kyle Victor birthed Chicago’s Gypsyblood back in ‘09, not long after a huge throwdown between the two resulted in their previous project breaking up. But he swore he’d change!
Only time will tell whether or not Gypsyblood lives to record a follow up to their debut, Cold In the Guestway, so we best enjoy these boys whilst we can. Seems after the fiery duo patched things up, they set about composing a boatload of songs for their newly conceptualized white noise fest. Working alone through the Chicago winter, the duo recorded patched together Cold In the Guestway, and now we will frolic in spring with the fruits of their labor.
Well, maybe not quite frolic. Single My RKO Is MIA represents a pretty nice slice of the band’s arc-wire mojo. Warmer than Bauhaus, more gelid than JAMC, and on the same street as Factory. Dig the energy, the song’s very existence seems threatened by it own maniacal rambunctiousness, yet it manages to maintain a playfulness that encourages touching. I absolutely love this tune.
