You know what's cool about Sundays in late March? You can wear your best leathers and varying shades of black and stroll around the streets with your girlfiend, laughing casually in the light of very early spring, when the air is still kinda crisp. You can walk by grafittied walls and feel at one with the city, you can strut in slo mo down railroad tracks and feel like you're in an urban version of Stand by Me, you can come across some randomly discarded instruments and then hold that white keyboard above your head like John Cusack in Say Anything (just please don't actually play music in the street unless you're a musical genius. Buskers begone!). Basically the underlying message of this video is—you can do anything you want, BB!

Matt Sumrow and Mikey Jones make up NYC's Heaven and create music that floats on a narcotized cloud of reverbed guitars and gauzily layered vocals which sounds as if they've been delivered horizontally. The video for their latest single, "New Amsterdam," is premiering above and lifted from last year's debut LP, Telepathic Love, which we all know is the best kind of love: unspoken eroticism, people.
