La Blogotheque – Les Concerts A Emporter
Not a terribly long time ago, I stumbled across La Blogotheque’s Les Concerts A Emporter via John Mark McMillan’s blog The Promenade in his post on an episode featuring Fleet Foxes performing in Paris in an abandoned section of The Grand Palais.
Obviously this is the first episode I witnessed. I was absolutely taken by the music, for sure. I had never heard Fleet Foxes and I’ve come to really appreciate their delicate vocal harmonies and alt-folk arrangements. But more than that, I was struck by how beautiful the video was. I don’t know what they’re shooting with, but it has a gorgeous grain and their color is fantastic. If that’s done intentionally with digital equipment, then my hats off to them even more. The camera work was also very compelling. I loved how they wandered between the performers and focusing in on the people who were lucky enough to listen in. All in all, it was breathtaking.
I browsed through some of their archives after watching that and discovered this video of Mogwai performing Mogwai Fear Satan from their 1997 Album Young Team.
Again. I was just floored. Since then, I haven’t missed an episode. I’ll embed a few more of my favorites below, but really, check it out for yourself.
