Dakotafish just released an awesome animated music video for a song on his self-titled EP called "Landlocked." A friend of the band, Mike Lichter, hand drew 1400 illustrations on paper bags and brought them to life with stop motion. It's great when artists are able to make great music videos like this with limited funds... it's no easy task.

Dakotafish has a Radiohead style sound, though they are a little more folkier than Radiohead. You'll definitely hear the similarities between the vocals of Dakotafish front man, Mike Fish, and Thom Yorke.

In the summer of 2007, Fish formed the Dakotafish project in San Diego (they are based in Encinitas, California). He plays many of the instruments heard on the self-titled EP, but Jennifer Argenti and Manuel Rhueda help with the strings and drums, respectfully (Aaron Sterling played drums on the EP.) In February, Fish released a second EP called Motion In Relation To Other Objects. It contains tracks that he started working on while recording his first EP, but he didn't feel like these songs went well with the four on the original EP. Motion In Relation To Other Objects is absolutely free to download off Dakotafish's site. Check it out.
