One of the year’s best albums so far came to us from Andy Butler, the 29-year-old main-brain behind Hercules & Love Affair. We’ve not yet had the chance to sit down with the hugely talented New Yorker ourselves, but we suspect watching this EMI-sponsored video is nearly as informative. Butler more or less interviews himself, candidly discussing each track on the album and offers a bit of story to accompany each. If you dig on this, check out the brilliant retro-chic styled video for the album’s next single, “You Belong.”
