Try as I might, it's not easy to pin down exactly what's going on inside singer/songwriter Marta DeLeon's head. The Meaning of LIfe, the Brooklyn art rock band she fronts, contains such an unexpected mixture of rock's building blocks, that only a video as bizarrely fun as ''Laura V" would do. From directors Jeremiah McVay and Steven Huber, the band creates a world where people get eaten when dates go wrong, and guitarists run around the beach shouting psychedelic wisdom.... just check it out for yourself to see what I mean. Intensely artful, yet easily accessible, singer Marta DeLeon makes us believe in the experience. And pretty soon, you'll be chanting 'like gloves' along with her too. Taken from their just released debut EP 'Play Fuego,' the music is fun, soaring, and surreal all at once.

See them on Sep 27 at Bushwick Shorewave Haus. And check out their new EP 'Play Fuego' here. - Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets).
