 I took the Gold Line up to Pasadena last weekend to catch just-breaking indie pop band Princeton at the Make Music Pasadena festival. Princeton is the saccharine bittersweet endeavor of twin brothers Jesse Kivel and Matt Kivel, who, along with their childhood friend Ben Usen, sing songs about the Bloomsbury Group in a deliriously dreamy orchestral style that recalls John Cale and The Kinks. It’s Edwardian British high culture by way of folksy LA beach pop. The members of Princeton were kind enough to tell us a little about themselves (and their love of donuts) in the video above. This is the first video I’ve edited in HD, with many more to come! Watch the compressed version above, or click here to watch the video in all of its High Definition glory over at Vimeo.
