Darkened Sky [Single + Official Music Video] from The Universal Thump on Vimeo.

You know I have a soft spot for Greta Gertler and the Universal Thump because Greta and I share a last name though her’s doesn’t have the h (gherlter) nor are we related.

Below is the stream for The Universal Thump‘s first radio appearance in NYC and NJ yesterday. They performed five songs and chatted about their new double orchestral pop album with DJ Irene Trudel onWFMU:

Their radio set list included the debut of three new songs including “Walking the Cat” an ode to lead singer Greta Gertler‘s cat, Minke – and an optimistic new song about Brooklyn neighborhood ‘Sunset Park’.

Yo, she’s writing about Sunset Park. Love it.

And here also is the link to their brand new music video for ‘Darkened Sky’, the stunning second single from their new double-album which was just released last week.

They have been in residence throughout this month at The Living Room (NYC), and will soon embark on their first tour of the South, performing in Athens GA, New Orleans LA, Chapel Hill NC, Austin TX, Knoxville TN and Thomas WV.
