Montana kindie band The Whizpops have had an increasingly educational bent to their songs as their career has progressed and on their third album Sea Blue Sea (out tomorrow, August 19th), they tackle -- oh, I'm pretty sure you can guess the subject. Ten songs about marine life (not just animals, because coral reef gets a song of its own), and one of the catchiest is "Sea Turtle." Learning about the carapace has never been this much fun.
I'm happy to present the world premiere of the video for that track, created by Zooglobble favorites eg design. The animated video packs in a lot of useful information, and its bright marine palette will draw in the youngsters. And, yes, you will learn what a "carapace" is.

It's been about a month since my last Spotify update for new music (see the April playlist here), so it's time to publish a new one. As always, it's limited in that if an artist hasn't chosen to post a song on Spotify, I can't put it on the list, nor can I feature songs from as-yet-unreleased albums. But I'm always keeping stuff in reserve for the next Spotify playlist.
Check out the list here or go right here if you're in Spotify.
