"Hummingbird" by Suspicious Package Is Our Music Video of the Day.
By PAPERMAG Staff
Andrew Strasser, aka 2009 Beautiful Person Bad Brilliance, sent us an email the other day that said: "I just returned from a private island off the coast of Central America where I was filming a music video for the girl duo Suspicious Package." So, of course, we had to take a peek. The duo, comprised of Emily Doubilet and Ashlynn Manning, make what they call "Bio Pop." and "are pushing in the opposite direction of all the frivolous music they hear on the radio and blogs by focusing on pressing themes of biodiversity." This video, for the song, "Hummingbird," features a real life hummingbird drinking water from a bottle cap in Emily's mouth.

Incredible video/incredible music & song. Bio-pop is an important new genre especially in view of the horrible BP oil spill which will change the whole food web. HUMMINGBIRD puts the art in nature into our awareness through the pop music scene.

It feels so amazing for this to be recognized. Like Annie says below (and she should know: http://www.annedoubilet.com/), there is so much ART in nature. We want to show that to as many people as possible.
