Portland via Lawrence, Kansas electropop outfit the Harvey Girls have a new album out today, though you won’t find it at your neighborhood record shop. The Girls have been offering internet-only releases since the early Aughties, and the duo’s latest, Nutate, gets the same treatment over at Portland-based online label Circle Into Square records.

If you’re not quite ready to take a chance on the Harvey Girls’ ’80s synthpop-inspired (but generally sunny) tunes, you can still head to CIS for a partial album preview. Or you could watch this adorable video for “Don’t Go Stop,” which frontman Hiram Lucke directed and constructed himself using cardboard and dancing push toys. The video is almost as hectic as the song itself, which overdubs a simple sleepy keys-n-chords loop with a woozy horn section and stabs from the turntable. It gets real thick and psychedelic about three minutes in, the same time all the push toys go crazy and dream about beaches while dancing in what looks to be the bar at a Mexican restaurant.
