The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, aka Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, have just released their video for the song ‘Shroedinger’s Cat,’ off their new album Acoustic Sessions.
The video was directed by Jordan Galland, who has also directed music videos for Mark Ronson and The Americans, as well as had collaborations with The Neistat Brothers and debuted his full-length film, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Undead, this year. The video features a host of faces you may recognize but in case you have trouble identifying, check out the matching character to celebrity chart after the jump.

Young and clever in a way that is reminiscent of The Strokes when they released their first ep, The Modern Age (1998-2001), is new band The Americans. With help from Sean Lennon, the group have released their gorgeous and smart video for single ‘Requiem’ from The White EP. Sean Lennon also co-produced and lends vocals to this immediately gripping song.
Of the obvious comparisons people will draw from the title of The White EP to The Beatles’ White Album, founding member and lead singer Charlie Klarsfeld told The Rock n Roll Report: “The title of our new record is more about letting the music speak for itself, and setting down a blank slate in the mind of the listener. There’s a lot going on with the arrangements and production, so it needs an open mind to digest it. In that way, it is also a nod to the incredible dynamics of the Beatles record. Our record isn’t particularly genre specific either.”

On Valentine’s Day 2008, Sean Lennon premiered his new band with girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl called The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger during a live performance at Radio City Music Hall. Now, their first album, Acoustic Sessions, is set to be released on their own label Chimera Music on October 26th. The first single, “Jardin du Luxembourg,” is a light, 60s style affair that dares you to make Beatles, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” comparisons, which of course coupled with Sean’s shockingly similar voice to his dad, is a no brainer.

Here’s more info as lifted from The LA Philharmonic’s official site: *On Tuesday, January 8, ‘Songs Of The City’ features artists whose lives exist on the road – artists who travel with little else than their songwriting craft from one city to the next. Using music as expression for their unique urban experiences, each give a stripped-down, heartfelt performance that portrays their mobile, civic existence. Although their songs draw from diverse experiences, the emotions evoked are universal. Walt Disney Concert Hall becomes the living room for the city with this intimate evening, as these urban troubadours share the songs that have become the lo-fi soundtrack to our inner-city existence — joy, urgency, depression, and heartache expressing the raw emotions contained and cultivated in the city.* More details below.
