A lot of stop motion, donuts and fake facial hair find a place in this cutesy clip for Puffyshoes'”Tokio (Dedicated To Gagakirise).” Watch above, and make sure to get a hold of their new album Finally The Weekend too!
What better way to start off a nice Spring week then with some melancholy indie-pop?

ΔKTR is having a hell of a year. He’s released two of 2017’s best collections of cloudy brained beats, taking the forgotten sounds of the past and warping their best moments. Add another one to the collection — Katalog clocks in at just over ten minutes, but the four tracks within offer up some of…
