Video premiere: "Animals" by Cultfever

25 June 2013

We can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than this delightful new music video from Brooklyn’s Cultfever! Cartoons rock!

A collaboration between Brooklyn-based musicians Tamara Jafar (vocals) and Joe Durniak (guitar), Cultfever’s self-titled debut album exploded onto the indie pop scene in 2012, earning praise from MTV Soundtracks, Stereogum, and the Guardian. Their unique sound and captivating live show won them hometown distinction as Deli Magazine‘s #1 NYC Indie Pop band in 2012. Singles such as “Knewyouwell” and “Collector” propelled them into the CMJ Radio Top 200 charts and their song “Strangenecks” made its primetime debut on MTV’s hit series “Awkward.” The duo released their first 7’‘ (“Animals”) earlier this year, blew away the jaded crowds at SXSW, and are now in the studio preparing for the release of their second full-length album next year.

The video for “Animals” was directed Rich Chapple, the animator behind Above Average Network’s Waco Valley Cartoon, along with other credits for Vulture.com, Upright Citizen’s Brigade, Channel 101 NY, CNY Film and New Media Festival. See more of his work here
