Video: Fight Bite - "Swiss Ex-Lover" (live in Denton)
I'm a bit behind the hype curve in praising Denton, TX, band Fight Bite. Blogs have been going slightly ape (a clinical condition) over the dreamy duo for some time now, as their self-released debut, Emerald Eyes, slowly disseminates. Above is video from a home town gig, in which member Jeff Louis is completely and utterly ignored in favor of the attractive girl with the Julee Cruise voice, aka Leanne Macomber. Understandable, yet still poor form. New Yorkers will be able to get the panoramic view of the group shortly. I can't discuss it much yet, but trust me I know. Those who've swooned to airy music by bands like High Places and Beach House in this calendar year will be thrilled by their first single, which perhaps has a more heartbreaking pop finesse than anything those two fine bands have offered.
