R. Ring

Likeable (Music Video)

Don Giovanni Records

Mike Montgomery and Kelley Deal are R. Ring. This is one of Mike’s songs, “Likeable," which is very likable. The music chugs smartly along with gaining guitars and lyrics that could be about any number of things, very open to interpretation.

The imagery starts with Kelley shot through a sheet, and then shows the duo playing the song in a recording studio, with superimposed images of a skateboarder, and the duo’s drummer Laura King. It is also very likeable, and I say it again as I like the word play with the lyrics, and how well they go with the music. So take a look, and if you like what you see, it’s on their great current album War Poems, We Rested.
