Flashlights Combine Slackerisms, Zero-Gravity Cats and Kaleidoscopes for "Blue Dream" Video

Space cats, songs that sound like Pavement... what's not to like?

Orlando's Flashlights mix the slacker approach of Pavement and mid-period Flaming Lips with vocals the remind you of Mac McCaughan and Lou Barlow on "Blue Dream," their angsty new single from their new LP Bummer Summer. The video, which mixes performance footage with shots of zero-gravity cats and felines in kaleidoscope, makes it's debut here today; Check it out above.

Get your copy of Bummer Summer on iTunes, at your favorite record store, or at the merch table during the band's US tour. Dates are below.
