Sunday Video Love: Steel and Blood

Often times, experimental rock music gets too complicated, almost too experimental, and it becomes difficult to enjoy because there's just so much going on. I've been following Minus the Bear for the past few years, and whereas I enjoyed their music enough, I didn't really fall in love with them until they released Infinity Overhead last year. It still has their distinct sound (seriously, you can always tell that it's Minus the Bear), but it's not as eccentric or sporadic as their older albums. It has just the right mix of catchy and quirky, guitars and synth, rock and electronica — enough to launch them into the mainstream. And after nearly 12 years, it's really about time.
