DAY OF COOL: rhye - the fall

rhye - the fall
surprisingly this duo hail from LA, and not some scandanavian country like the video suggests. it helps to get us off their american scent with danish director daniel kragh-jacobsen at the helm of this awesomely wistful video about lost youth and desire. it also helps that the music is dreamy yet mature (something very UN-LA) making these guys a band to watch in 2013.
