Basic Shapes' Video for "Stand Still" Will Make You Do the Opposite

Sleek like a freshly washed ponytail.

When I'm in a bummer mood I like to play music really loud and do bad interpretive dance because you can't hold onto a shitty mindset when you're throwing your body around pretending to be a bunny on acid. Brooklyn trio Basic Shapes understand the power of dancing like an idiot with your friends (hey, by yourself is OK too). Additionally this song manages to sound both minimal and lush, downtempo and uptempo. It's sleek like a freshly washed ponytail with the same glimmering, sophistico-pop vibes as Londoner NZCA/Lines. Listen to more of their stuff here, or if you live in NY, catch them live tomorrow and Friday.

Kim has never seen a bunny on acid but when she was 12 she did tranquilize her bunny to sneak it over from France to England. She's on Twitter - @theKTB
