Santigold at Made In America
Noisey debuted a new music video from Santigold for her song, “The Keepers” off her recently released album Master of My Make-Believe. The video showcases the typical 1950′s all-American family, made up of blonde wigs and smiles to hide the fact that their world is falling apart around them. Watch it below:

Philly-born Santigold’s sophomore album, Master Of My Make-Believe, is set for release on May 1st (via Downtown and Atlantic Records). Earlier this month, she announced a series of tour dates in support of the release, including a performance at the Trocadero on Tuesday, May 8th. From NPR Music:
As uncompromising in her own way as M.I.A., whose music attacks more viscerally, Santigold seems ambivalent about most everything she touches on Master of My Make-Believe — especially success, if “Fame” is any indication. Even the profanity-laced “Look at These Hoes” seems to straddle the line between loathing material excess and embracing it; in that case, the result feels deadpan to the point of half-heartedness.
With its frequent nods to island rhythms — and the aid of collaborators from old standbys Diploand Switch to Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ Karen O — Master of My Make-Believe has a sprawl to it that belies its 38-minute run time. As a result, whether a given song comes out as a jolt (“Freak Like Me”) or a trot (“Pirate in the Water”), Master of My Make-Believe feels packed and filling. But fun has been edged out of the equation a bit, in favor of an emphasis on ferocity and artistry that’s increasingly hard to deny

The Philly-born, Brooklyn-based Santigold has just released the new video for the song “Big Mouth” off her upcoming sophomore album, Master Of My Make Believe. The album—set for release this spring (via Downtown and Atlantic Records)—is the follow-up to Santigold’s critically acclaimed 2008 debut. From Santigold’s press people:
Santi calls out all trash-talkers on “Big Mouth” with a schoolyard taunt melody backed by an explosive carnival beat that will shake the streets from Bed-Stuy to Baja. The track is available for free download at www.santigold.com. The video was directed by Cody Critcheloe and premiered on Pitchfork today. Watch the animated adventure here.
