It's been a while since we last hung with Micachu & The Shapes, but when they showed up to play for us at Heathers Bar a few weeks ago, we were glad to see that they're still into wearing matching, handmade shirts. They sipped on some cocktails while they set up their gear then played a couple songs from their new album, Never, out today via Rough Trade. Watch them do "Never" above and "Slick" live below, and check out the YouTube music homepage throughout today to catch a unique video for each song on the album, directed by the band. Micachu & The Shapes will support Animal Collective on tour this fall, see a full schedule of dates below.
