"I Was Always Talking" the new music video for the collaborative track between Brooklyn singer-songwriters Sam Kogon and Frankie Cosmos, off the former's sophomore album, Psychic Tears (Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records), places 3D animated characters inside real world environments, giving it a sort of Adult Swim-y charm.

Since starting out as singer-songwriters who idolized bands like Incubus in 2007, they've gone full circle, switching to electronic production and DJing in 150; touring as DJS and releasing an album full of proper bangers called Get Wet in 2014; then returning with a new live band set-up at Ultra 2015.

Instead, Lynch will curate and host a weekend of film screenings, talks and music hip and forward-thinking enough to justify the festival's Silicon Valley-ready name, with experimental D.J.s such as Flying Lotus and Hudson Mohawke, irreverent singer-songwriters like Angel Olsen and Jim James and genre-bending indie pop from Au Revoir Simone and Animal Collective.
