Here's the video for "Flowering Deer" from Matt Bauer's The Jessamine County Book of Living. It features vocals from Dirty Projectors' Angel Deradoorian, Jolie Holland, Alina Hardin and others, and, according to the album's line notes, the song's arrangement "is based on Daniel Reed's four part vocal arrangement of his song Windham from 1785."

You can catch Bauer live this Saturday at The Gutter, where he's playing Kevchino.com's 10th anniversary celebration along with Dana Falconberry, Natureboy and Prairie Empire.

The Minneapolis band, whose debut LP America Give Up (stream it here) just came out on Rough Trade, play Cameo Gallery tonight, and Saturday night they'll be back at Pianos. After that they'll head to Europe for a bit, but they'll be back to play the Knitting Factory on April 10 and Mercury Lounge on April 11.

Check out a couple more videos from the show over on Bleary Eyed Brooklyn.

On Tuesday our long-time favorite Sharon Van Etten played a live set for WNYC's Soundcheck Live at The Greene Space. Check out the video of "Give Out" and stream audio of the rest of her performance below, or stream the video here.
