Time to show some love for the local musicians out there. Believe it or not, despite the fact that most acts skip over Detroit on their tours, we’ve got a pretty vibrant local music scene. Below is a really great song/video from a new local project called lettercamp which is a new electro-pop project from Liz Wittman (who plays bass in Friendly Foes, a pretty big local band). Lettercamp will be releasing a 10″ later this summer on Five Three Dial Tone Records and will be labelmates with another dailybeatz favorite, Deastro (in his original form. We don’t much care for his new incarnation as a band that we witnessed a few months back)!

I really like the darkness of this song (I wish I could describe songs in ways other than dark and bright), and I feel that this awesome video (coincidentally done by my grade school pal and off the heezy visual artist Dan DeMaggio) perfectly encapsulates the tone of this song, and that it looks just like it sounds. Check it out and show some local love if you got it. And we do.

lettercamp – You Won’t Want Me

Here’s another tune I’m digging. I love how the whole mood changes when the music kicks in and it feels a whole lot happier.

lettercamp – I Know
