The Peter Pint directed clip features lead singer Anna Lotterud and is a perfect visual representation for the duo's critically acclaimed crafted pop song. Of the video, Anna says: "We made the video whilst on tour in Europe on a day off in Lisbon. We wanted a video that was very graphic and represented the different textures throughout the track. We really like Peter Pint's previous work, he had a real strong connection with the track and we're real happy with what he's done." [ Watch The Video For "Baby" ] "Baby" is out now via Different Recordings ([PIAS]) / Honeymoon (300), the electronic imprint of the [PIAS] family.

Intercontinental post-progressive rock quintet, VLY, has just issued an official video through an exclusive premiere through Prog Magazine. The video has been created for the track "Silver Beaches," which hails from the band's Laser's Edge-released "I / (Time)" debut album. Filmed in several locations the South of England, VLY's new "Silver Beaches" video resumes the ongoing collaboration with director and "digital nomad" Felix Brassier. The song itself highlights the more acoustic, lyrical, and introspective elements of the band's sound with lush string arrangements and vocal harmonies, which bear stark contrast with the first video released from "I / (Time)", created for the song "Circles," which was also created by Brassier. Immerse yourself in VLY's "Silver Beaches" video via Prog Magazine here. Also view the previously-released "Circles" video HERE, and stream the hi-res 24 bit/96 khz version of I / (Time) HERE. The standard digital version of I / (Time) is available HERE and the CD HERE. VLY is comprised of a varied team of multi-instrumentalists fusing their talents into an incredibly vibrant new entity, including guitarist/keyboardist/programmer Karl Demata (ex-Crippled Black Phoenix), vocalist Keith Gladysz (Diet Kong, Typical Reptiles), keyboardist/synth programmer Elisa Montaldo (Il Tempio Delle Clessidre), bassist Chris Heilmann (ex-Crippled Black Phoenix, Bernie Torme', Shark Island), and drummer/keyboardist Mattias Olsson (ex-Änglagård. White Willow, Necromonkey). Once united by the internet and phone lines across the Atlantic with each other, VLY carved a sound which blends elements of progressive rock, classic rock, folk, early-Floydian psychedelia, intimate pop melodies, walls of epic guitars, post-classical, post-rock and electronic music. And it's the diverse background of the members that lead to the breadth of their sound. Their electrifying debut album, I / (Time),was engineered and produced by members of the outfit and mastered by Bob Katz, presenting an entire hour of crisp, adventurous music. VLY is currently at work on new material and projects to be unveiled in the very near future. https://www.facebook.com/vlyband Jamie Lee cast a spell over a million viewers when she won the season’s finale of 'The Voice of Germany' last December. The schoolgirl from Hanover will represent Germany with her winning song "Ghost" in the Eurovision Song Contest on May 14th in Stockholm. After her outstanding success in 'The Voice of Germany', Jamie Lee was able to win over the hearts of the viewers of the ESC’s German pre-selection. The competitors were left behind as she drew all the attention with her multifaceted voice and her original dress sense. She will now be representing Germany in Stockholm. This Miss Manga, the bubbly public’s favourite, has more than demonstrated how much she loves being in the limelight whilst in the 'The Voice' team of Michi Beck & Smudo (Die Fantastischen Vier), these star qualities will prove very useful to her on an international level. This fascinating, independent and exceptional artist doesn’t take herself too seriously, dreams of taking a trip to Korea, lives as a vegan and is an absolute fan of the japanese 'Decora Kei' style, as anyone can easily see in the playful, extrovert and colourful Manga looks that she wears. A style, with which Jamie Lee is already setting a trend: her eye-catching outfits have already become hot topics on social networks and no doubt all eyes will be on her in Stockholm. Through her music, Jamie Lee expresses her preference for the Comics aesthetics from the Far East. With her pop ballad "Ghost" Jamie Lee takes us into the secret meanders of her fantasy realm. "Ghost" is a rather sad love song, which depicts a story that anyone can relate to. "I am an emotional being. I might sometimes appear a little loud or provocative, but I am also a very deep person. I need the ups and downs of life. Tough times are needed too, they make us enjoy the good times more." Fans should look forward to an explosive appearance in front of an estimated 200 million television viewers on May 14th, when Jamie Lee will present her mystical song "Ghost" in a breathtakingly dreamy scenery to the worldwide audience of the ESC. The 'Team Fanta' pendent that she received as a present from her role models and coaches of 'The Voice of Germany', Michi Beck and Smudo, her best good luck charm, will be with her of course ! Nothing can stop the Manga-Pop Princess Jamie Lee Kriewitz now. "It is a huge honour to have been chosen to participate in the ESC and to represent Germany in Stockholm. Taking part in this contest is for me an amazing opportunity to bring people closer to my music. Music is my life; it was always my absolute dream to perform in front of a large audience. I so look forward to it!" Let us hope together with her for a Miss Manga miracle ! Pierce the Veil have released a medley stream of forthcoming album 'Misadventures' via Spotify.
