I’ll have to hear the rest of his new album Memory Almost Full, but this song at least leaves much to be desired.  It’ll be hard to top the excellent Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, and this being released on Starbucks’ on label Hear Music doesn’t help things much, but the video is pretty cool.  It was directed by Michel Gondry and features a guest appearance by Natalie Portman.  You can’t really go wrong with Gondry directing your video. 

Memory Almost Full comes out tomorrow, and head over to Amazon to pick up a copy while watching Paul play a mini-version of his song live for Amazon customers.  I don’t normally suggest a place to buy an album, but the video was worth noting so I added the link.
