Genre Report: Keith Urban, Mastodon, Belle & Sebastian
Country – Australian country singer and reluctant tabloid figure Keith Urban has been recovering from vocal cord surgery, an unfortunate injury if your career is based on, you know, singing. The singer gave his first post-surgery interview to noted country music site Access Hollywood, admitting that he couldn’t utter a sound for three weeks. “You can’t cry, you can’t sneeze, you can’t cough, you can’t clear your throat,” said Urban. Comedians around the country prepared their, “If that was my wife, there’d be no problem” punchlines. [Access Hollywood]
Metal – Atlanta metal band Mastodon has found someone as warped as them to helm the new video for their latest single “Dry Bone Valley.” Fine artist and animator Tim Biskup linked up with the group ahead of their UK tour to make the hallucinogenic video below that will now haunt your dreams and choke your soul. We’re digging this, but we’re still hoping the band makes an entire video out of this. [NME]
