The Beautiful Young Crew

Lawrence Arabia, a serenely melodic paragon of the burgeoning NZ indie-pop scene has just released a new album, Chant Darling. The first single is called 'The Beautiful Young Crew', and the music video tells a darkly comic political tale. I think it is an example of how music and other narrative arts can augment ordinary political discourse, and shouldn't just be dismissed as mere entertainment. Also, it is just a sweet song.
