Indie band sings about the solar system

Michael Hearst of One Ring Zero writes:

I just did a Google search for "science blogs," and landed on your site. And the first thing I see is a picture of The Magnetic Fields, who are good friends of mine, and who I've toured with. Very strange. The reason I was searching for science blogs is because my band, One Ring Zero, is gearing up to release a new album on Sept. 7th ... our first studio album in 3 years. The theme and title for this one is PLANETS. The album is a sort of revisit to our solar system, as the 100th anniversary of Holst's The Planets approaches. Here's some more info on the project, complete with a blurb from Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

The album features guest performances by Mark Feldman (Masada), Hamilton Berry (Vampire Weekend), Curtis Hasselbring (Slavic Soul Party), and guest lyrics by Rick Moody (The Ice Storm). Here's the video to "Venus":

I recognize Mark Feldman from New & Used with Dave Douglas.

Pretty cool. I thought the video was pretty creative. Probably didn't cost much to make either. I get tired of all the multi-thousand, and million dollar videos.

It gets ridiculous after a while.

Good song too.
