The Fresh & Onlys have released a weird video for “Presence of Mind,” which takes place on a public bus (one that looks like a toy bus). Passengers include a girl bit by a vampire and said vampire (who throws up a bunch of blood before boarding). Then the bus travels to space and around the world and seemingly turns back time Superman: The Movie style. More

Up to this point, just about every new release from The Fresh & Onlys has offered us the singularly bittersweet pleasure of greeting new, unexpected sonic gestures while melancholically waving goodbye to certain tics we’ve grown fond of.

Ending the year with Play it Strange and a November tour with Clinic puts a fine feather on their 2010 hat. More
