Javelin just premiered the video for their 16-minute western short film Canyon Candy, directed by Mike Anderson. See the video and download the “Estevez” mp3 now on Stereogum: http://stereogum.com/909552/javelin-canyon-candy-short-film-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/
Anderson and the Brooklyn-based duo also bring the Canyon Candy EP and short film comes to life as part of an exhibit at New York City’s Clocktower Gallery, opening tonight.
Beginning with an entrance through a wind-washed cabin, followed by a winding walk in the canyon’s termite hills and cactus fields, visitors will encounter coyotes, campsites, big sky, and vignette sequences from the film. All paths lead to a saloon-style theater space featuring the full 16-minute Canyon Candy film – the ideal cowboy den after a long walk through the canyon, complete with strawbale seating, gingham tablecloths, and sasparilla. See more info on the exhibit below.
Javelin is also set to perform as part of Luaka Bop at The Stone tonight night and will be joined by friends including: Ahmed from Yeasayer, Powpow from Man Man, Miho from Cibo Mato and more. Additional info on Luaka Bop at The Stone can be found here: http://www.luakabop.com/thestone
