VIDEO: Mistabishi – Printer Jam

Check out this video of Mistabishi’s “Printer Jam.” I mostly dig it for the song itself, but the CGI in the video looks pretty intensive too. A little sampling creativity can turn that PC Load Letter into a stellar track.

It makes me want to dig up my old first dot-matrix printer to sample.

With nearly 85K views, it goes to show you that a solid video can do a lot to promote your music. In this case, it starts with a good sound. I’ve seen a lot of artists try to create a viral video to help promote their band, with the end goal of getting signed to a major. I’ve heard that it’s actually harder to get a video to go viral than to start a band and get signed to major. Start with the music, use the web to push your music from there.

You can check out this track and more on Mistabishi’s album, Drop.
