It's not that difficult to pick up an HD camera, film some shakey, out-of-focus footage of a singer-songwriter moseying through the streets of Paris with a guitar slung over his shoulder, and make it look beatiful. Don't believe us? Check out one of the thousands of Vincent Moon rip offs clogging up Youtube (or Vimeo, if you're really fancy). But forgoing the all-too-overdone "take away" show route, Yours Truly opts for delivery in the form of live, in-studio sessions that are still, somehow, just as captivating.In this latest video, Yours Truly teamed up with Gorilla vs. Bear and headed to Texas, where they caught our favorite freak hip hop duo Shabazz Palaces for an intimate, borderline claustraphobic rendition of "The King's New Clothes Were Made By His Own Hands". Peep the video below.And don't forget to Black Up with Ish and Tendai on their fall tour!
