Almost exactly a year ago we released a new ep from Saharan Gazelle Boy called Strange Teen Heart. We also released a fewvideos for a few of the songs made by multi instrumentalist member John Paul Giago. Well he is back at again this time with a video for Amy Needs A Vacation. Our good buddy yvylnyl was awesome enough to give us a premiere for it and call it favorite from last fall.
Saharan Gazelle Boy has mostly been on hold while Capybara has been finishing their new album but we have been hearing some rumblings recently that some new music is on its way soon.
We’re excited to launch the video for Strange Teen Heart, the title track off of Saharan Gazelle Boy’s dreamy EP. Directed by John Paul Giago, the video exudes the nostalgic wonder and imagination of one of SGB’s favorite subjects — the achy, twitterpated hearts of our youth.
Also this will be the last week that you can purchase Strange Teen Heart for just $2. Starting next Tuesday it will be available on iTunes.
Take a look and enjoy!
UPDATE: The sales is over but you can now purchase Apple Lossless files for $5. And it is now available on itunes! Purchase

Strange Teen Heart is the second Record Machine release for Saharan Gazelle Boy, a collaboration between Capybara’s Darin Seal and Sea Change (aka Sarah Handelman). The EP is a super-quad of songs that conjure the love, loneliness and naiveté of teendom while continuing to develop the sleepy, bedroom pop of Saharan’s Airplane’s Can’t.
The melodramatic, synth-pop is the soundtrack for the shy, 1980s, pretty-but-doesn’t-know-it high school girl in all of us.
This new batch of songs was recorded over the course of many sun-soaked afternoons, and we couldn’t wait to get them out to you. A special co-release with the Record Machine and our friends at San Francisco-based Paper Brigade, Strange Teen Heart, is available on our website and will be released on iTunes later this month.
