"ray of light" by monster paws

today monster paws premiers their second music video, "ray of light," right here on crash[blank] for your viewing and listening pleasure.  this is the second video off their debut album, and it features some kids with a good attitude about life road tripping down to the city of rocks and then fractalling into space energy.  why, "ray of light" is just as glimmering as their first video, "champagne bike ride," and that vid positively sparkles.

"ray of light" is directed by kyle traynor, and alexander paul headed photography. 

enjoy the love and light in real life at monster paws' dance party thursday, april 7th, at the launchpad. 

you can purchase the album at the show, or off i-tunes, here.

Get out your laser lights and lamé couture: Spontaneous dance parties are about to break out all over town in response to Monster Paws’ eponymous debut album.

Monster Paws—Nate Santa Maria (The Oktober People, Excalico, Gingerbread Patriots) and Isaac Kappy (Prime Certified)—add surging bass and a few fistfuls of glitter to songs that are, at their heart, soulful indie jams. There is an assortment of moods on the album, but every track is intensely, relentlessly, dance-tastic.
“We want to express pure joy in sound form,” says Kappy. “It’s about getting over yourself and having a good time.”
