Video: MMOTHS – “All These Things”
It’s been a little over a year ago since we first featured MMOTHS – aka Jack Colleran – and his genuine sound has kept course, transforming his view on electronic music to become a dense and textured thing of art. Above is his latest video for “All These Things” and the Jamie And Keith-directed clip is as gorgeous as the track which rattles with Holly Miranda’s vocals. It’s a swell friend for an early morning... Read More
Video: Action Bronson – “Strictly 4 My Jeeps”
If you’re a stranger to Vine, then you have likely never seen ACTION BRONSON do a cartwheel or witnessed his “Early Morning Depression” series for that matter. Have no fear because the video for “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” is pure gold. With help from Noisey, the Jason Goldwatch-directed clip features the rapper in Queens where he lifts, hangs with RiFF RAFF and even hits jumpers like Allan Houston circa 1999. It’s no... Read More
Video: Traumahelikopter – “Down In The City”
We’re not ashamed to admit it – we have a thing for bands with unusually long names (see Tonstartssbandht), and because of that, TRAUMAHELIKOPTER is our new vice. The Dutch punk trio slayed SXSW with close to a dozen shows and after touring the West Coast, they managed to piece together a video for “Down In The City”, a quick alt fix you could charge for assault if you wanted to. The clip’s directed by the brilliant... Read More
Video: Melody’s Echo Chamber – “Some Time Alone, Alone”
Taken from Melody Prochet’s debut as MELODY’S ECHO CHAMBER, the video for “Some Time Alone, Alone” draws the curtain back on daydreaming at a carnival. Between the midway games and the shimmering lights, the track also finds a way to echo a thousand times more with a powerful surge of chords that lay down a gentle kiss on the cheek. It’s produced by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and to be honest, the dude is a genius... Read More
Video: Kendrick Lamar – “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”
How iconic is KENDRICK LAMAR’s “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”? It’s been seven months since its release and it still rings a bell like the “Pride Of Philly” sending someone down for the count in the 15th round. The video for the track is a set of astounding visuals that features cameos from Black Hippy, Juicy J and comedian Mike Epps, and effortlessly, switches between the valley and the scene of a funeral that...

Video: The National – “Sea Of Love”
For years, THE NATIONAL have made alternative rock commit to being mature. It rarely suffices to be mediocre or stereotypical and much of the same could be said for the band’s latest single “Sea Of Love”. It’s a caricature of how love’s supposed to be a virtue but at the same time, the Sophia Peer-directorial features a friend that contradicts the whole feeling-older-and-torn vibe. Regardless, it boxes everything you... Read More
Video: Austra – “Home”
If AUSTRA’s Feel It Break is still your jam, then you definitely can’t sleep on Olympia. Toronto’s Katie Stelmanis has developed a new side to synthpop with her supporting cast and their latest video for the track “Home” doesn’t hold it back. The clip’s directed by Noel Paul & Stefan Moore and with just a single-shot format, it manages to capture a downpour of emotion while merely putting the spotlight... Read More
Video: Fuzz – “Fuzz’s Fourth Dream”
Above is “Fuzz’s Fourth Dream”, one of the few cuts from Ty Segall’s new outfit FUZZ. The video itself is directed by Edgar Nelson Obrand, and while the black and white clip is a simple view into van life and playing a packed house at Burgerama II, it shows off how talented the trio are. Like has anyone seen Charlie Mootheart rip a guitar this hard? Where is this coming from?? Is this real life??? Apparently it is, so hopefully... Read More
Video: Heavy Cream – “Prison Shanks”
Though their killer record, Super Treatment, came out last May, HEAVY CREAM’s new video for “Prison Shanks” can still find a way to cut you. Puns aside, the clip’s directed by Lina Piloplyte of Teenage Peanut Video Productions (just try topping that) and it follows around two girls who break out of jail to ride a motorcycle, dance and eat beans. If the premise isn’t appealing, just click play. The Nashville foursome... Read More
Video: Miguel – “How Many Drinks?”
Kelly Clarkson wasn’t kidding about MIGUEL. The 27-year-old sensation has become an influential breakthrough, so much to the point that inviting KENDRICK LAMAR to star in his new video just made sense. While Miguel holds it down, “How Many Drinks?” watches the two brush each other’s shoulders off with a little bit of comedy. There are some awkward wardrobe choices and a heavy helping of intoxicating light work, but it all... Read More
