Black Prairie - "How Do You Ruin Me" 

Does anyone else find it unfair how talent like this doesn't get discovered and go viral in todays age of algorithms recommending crap to people in the pursuit of endorphin hits and advertiser income? We must be an exception to the rule, us lucky few enjoying these artists, talent like this is what makes our hair on our spines stand on end, no autotune, real dynamic range, talent, why is this not appreciated like it should be? If you come to the UK please let me know, I will be happy to find some gig bookings for you after rona!

I work cleaning cars at a car rental. Yesterday I found this album in one of the cars. Easily the greatest thing I've found yet.

This band is loaded with talent from top to bottom. I love just about everything and anything they do.

Saw them in Brooklyn last night. If you get the chance to see them live don't let it pass.

Great song !

I just saw them a couple weeks ago at "Front Porch Music" in Valporaiso, Indiana... And they are FANTASTIC live. In fact, I'd go so far as to say they sound unbelievably better live than on the album. (Annalisa double-checked to be sure my shirt selection from the band's fit well just after the show.. Now I'm kicking myself for not having the band sign the shirt!!)

How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? In the way that you gave it all, In the way that you took it back In the way that you are your own, In the way that I wanna make you mine How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? In the way that I am my own, In the way that I am undone, In the way that you wish for more, In the way I wanna make you mine How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? Ah Ah In the way that you are your own, In the way that I am mine In the way that I want to make you How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? How do you ruin me? (ah) How do you ruin me? (ah) How do you ruin me? (ah)

Great band ! From France ;)

Been waiting for this, since I heard "What You Gave" last year on KEXP . XLNT !

wow just just wow.

This so is great, so simple, yet it says so much :)

Fantastic!

Very good unique sound

j'adore

Actually, most of this band is FROM the Decemberists. It's their side project.

Got this song from one of those Starbucks free songs cards...I think I've a new favorite group! :)

Love it!

Very very nice

Those eyes ! Show your beautiful eyes a little bit more often they are riveting! MUSIC ALSO riveting.

Yaay the Decemberists without Colin Meloy!

Hahaha, the drummer too? I want to see Colin Meloy performing with Black Prairie now....

Is there an instrument that Chris Funk doesn't play?

WHY OH WHY!! Why does there have to be a California "Gurls" suggestion right next to this video.

VHS anyone?

Let's go through the hipster band checklist! Blank, slightly-confused-to-be-here expression on all faces (try not to show that you enjoy making music at all): check Subtle, quaint sound effect use and/or old-timey microphone: check on both Stand-up bass: naturally No pants on the ladies (sundresses only!): check Little-girl hairstyle w/ bangs: obviously Borrows the accordion player with the unfortunate face from The Decemberists: check I think we have a hipster band on our hands.

Great song!

Love it!
