Video: "Never Be Your Lover/Jam (live at Mississippi Studios)," Typhoon

Ask any local music fan who won 2011 and the answer is clearly Typhoon. From appearing on David Letterman to having its EP, A New Kind of House, named the best of the year by Paste Magazine, it's been a stellar 12 months for the Portland google-tet (seriously, how many people are in this fucking band, anyway?). As a cap to its banner year, the group sold out three shows at Mississippi Studios earlier this month. Video production team Neighborhood Films were there to film the performances. As a teaser for the eventual release of the full concert, they offer this beautiful clip of new song "Never Be Your Lover."

Along with being a typically stunning rendition from Typhoon, the video makes Mississippi Studios look as if it were specifically designed to play host to the band's ornate grandeur (although if that were the case, the stage probably would've been bigger, as the string and horn players were forced up to the balcony).

Enjoy.
