The first video from Mary’s Voice has been released! The video for “S’Alive to be Known (May We Starve)” was directed by Albert Birney, former member of the Spinto Band.
Julian spoke to MTV Hive about the video.
Some of the objects and images that may seem vintage are actually just things or objects that are a part of the Music Tapes world: the sailor playing the white sousaphone is Robby from the Music Tapes and the Sousaphone is one of the horns he plays. The tower with the wooden arms coming out of it is our Organ Playing Tower. The wonderful footage of the swaying Elephant was actually filmed by Robby in person (at a preserve). A lot of these things actually have come over time from family (my grandmother’s basement especially) — and junk stores too.
the loveliest.
From the album Mary’s Voice, out September 4, 2012 on Merge Records.
i just can’t even find words to explain how much i love this. honest to everything, if this doesn’t make you cry and feel melty and good, you should probably check for a pulse.
as an fyi because i asked because i worry about things like this because i worry about everything and i will probably keel over and die if i don’t actually have this in my childsized hands on the day it comes out:
if you preorder mary’s voice and live in the united states and choose the free shipping option, they will actually ship your order a bit earlier to account for shipping time. it doesn’t matter what option you choose, you’ll get your record by/on/around the release date because merge records is good people.
it’s embarrassing that i worry about these things. i swear, i am the most embarrassing person in the world.

the drawing of julian i did for otter.
acrylic, ink, and graphite on canvas paper.
this is on my wall.

this is pretty awesome.
also, it reminds me, now that otter has received her gifts, i can actually post the drawing of julian that i did for her.
this is really nice. i wish his socks were green though, but only because he was wearing green socks the first time we met a million years ago. i will just imagine green socks.
and rabbit, please do! my photos came out rather lacklusterly, and you have a nicer camera than i do, and i didn’t take any photos before i framed the drawing, and the frame i’m using covers a bit of the drawing, which is the main reason why i have to get a different frame, ha.
