Watch the Video for Aan's "Somewhere Sunshine"

Bravado on the open plains.

This video features a lot of masculine showboating. The two protagonists—sporting cowboy hats and some stern stares—flex their finger-gun skills on a sun soaked plain, but our favorite character is 100% the wobbly-looking band member whose primary concern is applying condiments to his hot dog. We feel you dude.

Portland quartet

Aan

release their debut LP,

Amor Ad Naseum,

via Party Damage (on February 4), and specialize in a jittery, energized brand of indie-folk with singer Bud Wilson's careening vocals bolstered by muscular, fuzzed up basslines. On this latest single, "Somewhere Sunshine," the band—who recently toured with The Smashing Pumpkins—dial it back, complimenting Wilson's treble-y quaver with summery, three-ply harmonies. Or is that four? Whatever the case it's a most luxurious vocal ply-age. The sonic equivalent to

Charmin's senstive bathroom tissue which has special soothing lotion in it.

See? Luxury.

Kim is planning to buy some of this Charmin sensitive stuff. Noisey's Contributing Editor, Dan Ozzi, totally vouches for it. Anyway, she's on Twitter - @theKTB
