Great song, but the music video kinda sucks because it doesn't showcase the fact that Clarke and the Himselfs is actually an accurate, yet (I assume intentionally?) ironic, description of the "band". :P I don't know what it is about one-person bands, solo loop station sets and even solo acoustic sets that I love so much, but there is something remarkably romantic to me about one person doing all the instrumentation and vocals, and yet still managing to make amazing music.

Off the top of my head, some of my other favorites in a similar vein:
Shakey Graves - "Climb on the Cross"
Cigo Man Band - Moldy Bread
Imogen Heap - "Just For Now"
THePETEBOX Future Loops - Where Is My Mind?
Dub FX - 'Love Someone'
Most of Jack Conte's old stuff, e.g. VideoSong 4 - Radiohead/Chopin Mashup
Anyone else have some others they can share?
