There are benefits to staying up til 4-5 in the morning, one of them is that Listen Before You Buy is usually already starting the day posting perfection before most of us are even entering REM sleep. One late night/early morning, Frank of LBYB posted a random video and basically called it the most gorgeous thing ever. That's a tall claim but turns out he was right. The video was a live living room version of Rhye's "Open".
There's not a whole lot of I can tell you about Rhye. And everything I can more or less comes directly from LBYB. Rhye either is or is fronted by Mike Milosh who happens to be from Toronto. They recently just released a 3 song 12" through Innovative Leisure. Oh, here's something I can tell you - the track is downright sexy. Also, gorgeous. The falsetto is so good, I thought it was a girl at first. The group also just released a brand new video for "Open" that takes its sexiness to the next level.
The concept behind the video is fantastic. Essentially men and women sexing each other up with a notable twist - every so often someone changes. Not in a slow metamorphosing kind of way but like boom - new person having sex. It sounds a bit racy (and let's face it, it is) but it's also pretty remarkably well done. One of those audio-visual combinations that you can't imagine existing any other way.
Watch Rhye's gorgeous video for the equally gorgeous track "Open":
