Chris Wilcha (This American Life) treats us with the second video from Asthmatic Kitty’s latest and greatest, Fol Chen’s Part 1: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made, which saw release in mid-February. Not to be outdone, the benevolent label convinced Liars (fresh from their tour with Radiohead) to provide us all with a free remix. Good vibes all around.

Fol Chen's blips have become blippier, their pop moments have grown poppier, and their clashes with noise have gotten noisier on the band's second release.

Regardless of how spectacular a live set a band puts forth, sometimes the audience is all it takes to make or break a show.

Rare as it may be, this was a set thankfully devoid of a weak link.
