Gotye - Easy Way Out (Official video)
Film clip for the Gotye song Easy Way Out, from the album Making Mirrors.
Oh Yeah Wow has just finished this clever music video for Gotye. Nice mix of live action and stop motion with almost no CG. The shoot was intense — Oh Yeah Wow slept in the bed and ate out of the refrigerator during production.
Directed By Darcy Prendergast

Bear In Heaven – “The Reflection Of You” Video
John Lee of the PFFFR art collective (see: Wonder Showzen) directs, Michael Mahalchick makes a cameo in shards of reflective tape and sexual choreography, and the digital-zoom-game herein is off the charts.
Girls – “My Ma”
That song now has a video, directed by Focus Creeps, in which an elderly woman who may or may not be Owens’s actual mother reflects on her craft as an actress and shows that she can still conjure emotion on command. It fits the song’s mood absolutely. Thanks to a small amount of boobage, it’s slightly NSFW.
School of Seven Bells - Lafaye [Official Video]
Shot in an old house in Dallas, the clip for School Of Seven Bells’ single “Lafaye” gives off a eerie, haunted vibe, replete with people in fine threads wearing those Eyes Wide Shut Masks. Those things never fail to add an extra layer of creepiness. David Lowery and Toby Halbrook-directed.
Memoryhouse - The Kids Were Wrong
Memoryhouse’s clip for “The Kids Were Wrong” marries some performance footage with a narrative about young love, which, aww. They play jacks! How real is that? Watch the video below, directed by music photography veteran Shawn Brackbill.
Morgan Page - Body Work ft. Tegan and Sara
Tegan & Sara recently showed up on “Body Work,” a bouncy electro-house single from L.A. producer Morgan Page, and that unlikely combination also shows up in the track’s video. Tegan & Sara play wallflowery health-club employees who hand out towels while a succession of sculpted bodybuilder types dances to the track. It’s absolutely cheesy, and you can watch it at YouTube.
Alex Winston – “Fire Ant”
Detroit’s Alex Winston plies in an interesting fusion of funk, blue and pop, piling in lots of influences without sacrificing accessibility and stickiness. Her debut album, King Con, drops later this spring, and today we have the animated, possibly Itchy & Scratchy-honoring clip for the single “Fire Ant.” Check it out the Alyssa Baron-Klask-animated video.
Bon Iver – “Towers” Video
The eerie, verdant clip for Bon Iver’s “Towers” features an old man (and yes, the sea) hauling a net out into the blue. Definitely Where The Wild Things Are (the movie) vibes, like this dude is the extremely aged Max who never escaped the monster island. Since I’m starting to freak myself out, I’m going to stop now! Watch the NABIL-directed video.
Lo-Fi-Fnk - "Kissing Taste"
The two members of this returning Swedish synthpop group, as well as an assortment of other attractive Norse young people, endure what you’d have to imagine would be extreme coldness to romp underdressed through their homeland’s wintry tundra. It’s all done with the sort of sharp atmospheric austerity that could only ever come from Scandinavia; consider it a less creepy, more affectionate cousin of those great Fever Ray videos from a couple of years ago.
Gorillaz – “DoYaThing” Video (Feat. James Murphy & Andre 3000)
The video for the Converse-sponsored Gorillaz/James Murphy/Andre 3000 single “DoYaThang” debuted today, and it features creepily lifelike CGI versions of the various cartoon Gorillaz, all ambling around their absolutely disgusting hovel of a house. Gorillaz visual guru Jamie Hewlett directs, and the X-faced Andre clone shows up in all sorts of unexpected locations. It’s an extremely British little burst of surrealism. Watch it at YouTube.
To download the track, head over to the Converse site, and by all means do not sleep on the kickass extended version.

Islands - "Hallways"
In the video for Islands’ jumpy, jittery quasi-pop song “Hallways,” frontman Nick Thorburn is surprised to find himself singing for a band of marionette skeletons, but he gradually gets into it. The skeleton puppet effects are just awesome, and there’s a fun surprise ending that I’d rather not give away. Lex Halaby and Toben Seymour direct.
Dr. Dog – “Warrior Man”
Philly choogle-rock crew Dr. Dog’s new album Be The Void has already yielded one music video, for “That Old Black Hole.” Today, it gets another, for “Warrior Man.” In the clip, co-frontman Toby Leaman shows off a nifty new pseudo-fauxhawk while the band goes about the mundane business of being a band.
Screaming Females - It All Means Nothing

Don Giovanni Records

The Shins – “Simple Song”
In the video for the Shins’ “Simple Song,” James Mercer’s videotaped final will and testament sets off a nostalgia-triggering treasure hunt. “To my three children; I couldn’t decide which of you to give the house to,” dead Mercer says, “so I didn’t choose any of you. Because, as you know, each of you hates my guts.” Head to iTunes to get the video.
Lower Dens - Brains
Ahh, “Brains.” The song where Lower Dens took their dreamy twin-guitared smoulder for a trip up the Autobahn and made Nootropics one of my most anticipated LPs of 2012. For the “Brains” video, out today, Jana Hunter commissioned director Tristan Patterson (he of the hailed Dragonslayer doc). Tristan trains the camera on a stoic Jana, using various visual effects to modify the footage in concert with the music. Put another way, the band’s camp says the video is about “appreciating our modern society’s rampant technological advancements while reconciling its ability to encroach to traumatizing effect. The minimalism here is monumental, elements in the music that seem subtle at first soon reveal themselves as colossal developments.” Very real:

Perpetual Motion Machines
Perpetual motion describes hypothetical machines that produce more work or energy than they consume, whether they might operate indefinitely or not. There is undisputed scientific consensus that perpetual motion in a closed system would violate the first law of thermodynamics and/or the second law of thermodynamics. So, are perpetual motion machines possible or not? The best way to be sure is to build one.

"Oh, Internet" - A love song.
You may recognize the star of this video from her other web series My Drunk Kitchen, but this time around Hannah Hart has put down the bottle and picked up a microphone to tell the world just how much she loves the internet.
Oh, Internet-A love song began as a song against SOPA but became so much more, and now Hannah has a new career option to fall back on, since becoming a chef clearly isn’t an option.

Agent Provocateur - The Initiate (NSFW)
Mylene Jampanoï stars in Agent Provocateur's Spring Summer 2012 campaign. This film shows a softer, more romantic type of erotica. A feminine sensuality rather than unabashed sexuality, inspired by the dreamy mood, colours and romanticism of the collection.

UNKLE – “Another Night Out” (Feat. Mark Lanegan) Videoematic trip.
Though it’s been a while since the LP that “Another Night Out” was featured on came out, that didn’t stop UK production duo UNKLE from putting out a dramatic black-and-white clip almost two years after the fact. Watch the Toby Dye-directed clip, which features a boxing narrative.
Little Dragon - “Crystalfilm”
Official Crystalfilm video by Daniel Wirtberg! A dreamy Scandinavian cinematic trip.
Frankie Rose – “Gospel/Grace”
We’re a mere eight days away from the release of Interstellar, the immensely likable new Frankie Rose album. And now we have the LP’s first video, for the album track “Gospel/Grace.” In director Hannah Lew‘s clip, Rose coos against an appropriately cosmic backdrop and makes tracers with her arms.
Sondre Lerche – “When The River”
Sondre Lerche’s new video for “When The River” is a pretty, soft-focus splicing of Super 8 film (from drummer David Heilman’s childhood) and Lerche performance footage shot by his Lerche’s, Mona. It’s a clip that underscores the heartsickness of nostalgia and the mellow sadness of Lerche’s music, all presented with vivid flecks of color and life. Though the Super 8 thing is pretty overdone at this point, it’s a nice reminder of that style’s effectiveness when thoughtfully employed.
Eugene McGuinness – “Shotgun”
Eugene McGuinness – “Shotgun” (Dir. Thirtytwo)
The art direction is impeccable, and the spy-movie imagery is a lot of fun, even when it’s not put in the service of anything beyond pure imagery. If you’re a sharp-looking young British musician trying to make an impression, this is the way to do it.
Bruce Springsteen - We Take Care Of Our Own
Last month, the Boss returned with the old-school anguished stadium-stomper “We Take Care Of Our Own,” and today he’s debuted the video for that track. The clip, which helpfully prints all the lyrics onscreen and which intermingles footage of serious-looking Bruce with salt-of-the-earth Americana imagery, is really nothing to write home about. But it’s always fun to watch Springsteen being Springsteen.
Crooked Fingers - Our New Favorite
Kids! Kids are the best. As someone who’s about to have his second, I am helpless before a music video that shows kids doing kid things like shuffle-toddling across floors and losing teeth and digging up ancient boxes of shredded, forgotten photos. (Actually, I’m not sure that last one is a kid thing per se.) That’s what’s going on in this Crooked Fingers clip. Pictureshow Films direct;
Stone Temple Pilots – “Cinnamon” Video (Previously Unreleased)
A few years ago, Stone Temple Pilots reunited long enough to release a self-titled 2010 album before another Scott Weiland meltdown ended things all over again. The band filmed a couple of videos for their track “Cinnamon,” deciding to to release either one, but the second of those videos recently leaked. In the clip, the wizened band members hang out with a bunch of models and outmoded appliances, and I’m guessing this is not what an actual Stone Temple Pilots party would look like.
Instant conspiracy theory: The band never wanted to make this video; they just wanted to spend a day hanging out with models on Atlantic’s dime. (This is probably not the case, but I’m going with it anyway.)

Noel Gallagher - Dream On
Noel Gallagher’s new “Dream On” video is a beautifully crafted, entertainingly ridiculous affair about an intergender match in which the dude gets his ass handily beat. Gallagher himself plays the ref, and the air of old-school glamor is put together really well. This is the type of goofy, high-concept video that big artists used to make all the time, and it’s good to see someone stepping up and delivering that today.

Jay-Z & Kanye West – “Niggas In Paris” (Explicit)
On their Watch The Throne tour last year, Jay-Z and Kanye West became notorious for performing their triumphant banger “Niggas In Paris” over and over, as many as 10 times. Now one of last year’s greatest singles finally has a video, and it centers almost entirely around those live shows, with Jay and Kanye rocking a huge crowd that seems to mostly consist of models. The quick edits and laser-lights are so relentless that the video comes with an epilepsy warning, and the repeated use of lion-roars is just awesome.
Lee Ranaldo – “Off The Wall”
Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo is prepping a solo LP called Between the Tides and the Times, and last month we talked about that release’s lead single, “Off The Wall.” The track now has a video which marries live performance footage (in this case, footage from Brooklyn’s Glasslands Gallery shot by Patrick Suddath and Pantophobia) and atmospheric video shot by Ranaldo himself, creating a blurry, colorful pastiche. Watch it below.

Watch the clip, directed by Isaiah Seret, viaNPR.

St. Vincent – “Cheerleader” (Music Video)
The video for St. Vincent’s Strange Mercy track “Cheerleader” opens with a giant Annie Clark laying prone on an art-museum floor, looking like a Damien Hirst shark. It would be a malicious act of spoilerization if I described anything else that happened after, but know that things get as unsettling and uncanny as they always do in St. Vincent videos. Hiro Murai directs.
Kindness - Gee Up
UK indie funk artist Kindness first made a blip in 2009 with a cover of the Replacements’ “Swingin’ Party,” eventually releasing that as a single alongside B-side “Gee Up.” Now, as his debut LP approaches, Kindness’s Adam Bainbridge made a video for the song, which is part performance and part sketch, chronicling a video shoot that’s aimless to some and disappointing to others. In a landscape with indie rockers taking themselves way too seriously, this is a nice change of pace.
The Death And Return Of Superman-A NSFW Fan Film With Epic Cameos
I’m pretty sure the only way a fan film can have this many celebrity cameos packed into one short film is if the fan in question is John Landis’ son Max, with co-collaborator Bryan Basham on hand to keep all that Hollywood cred from going straight to his head.
Watch as Max and Bryan, and a handful of really famous friends, make The Death And Return Of Superman, “a somewhat-mostly-accurate educational parody film” about the time Superman got “killed” by Doomsday, then came back a little while later.
It’s like Drunken History, only about comic books instead of, you guessed it, history, and I really hope this picks up where DH has fallen short over the years and they run with this concept, because it’s gold I tell ya GOLD!
Oh, and in case you missed it in the title, this hilarious vid is for grown folks and is extremely NSFW, so if adult language ruins your day don’t watch, just ask someone who’s seen the vid to give you a recap!

Madonna – “Give Me All Your Luvin’” (Feat. M.I.A. & Nicki Minaj) Video
Madonna’s forthcoming album, bearing the frankly awesome title MDNA, will feature two collaborations with M.I.A. This forthcoming weekend, Madonna and M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj will perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. This morning, we posted up this amazing M.I.A. video for “Bad Girls.”
So if you could add up all those words the sum total would be just about this: Madonna’s own cadre of bad girls, including M.I.A. (and Nicki Minaj), in a football-themed video, on the eve of the Super Bowl. Here it is! “Give Me All Your Luvin’” is the track (“in another place, in another time, you could be my Lucky Star”), Megaforce directs, and Madge has managed to cast two of contemporary pop’s most visionary meme-icons into as her personal cheerleaders (literally). It’s good to be Madonna. “Give Me All Your Luvin’”‘s got Madonna complaining about “every record sound(ing) the same,” M.I.A. flowing slow and saying she doesn’t “give a shit,” and Nicki flowing fast and not really saying shit. Which is to say, this is what they do. Plus football uniforms.
Drake – “Practice” (NSFW)
A while back, when we asked Drake about how his personal life had changed since Thank Me Later came out, and he said:
And, none of the videos so far back up that chauvinistic spirit quite like the video for “Practice.”It’s crazy man. Here’s the thing: I haven’t been able to write any love songs because I haven’t been in a relationship in like three years. When I hear, even going back to [Frank] Ocean, like girls are so endearing and charming … I’m like, damn I can’t write like that right now! My songs are like, I’m the man, bitch, I made it. I made you who you are now take a shot for me! That’s a song on my album. I can tell you were practicing, that all those other men were practice for me. Those are the types of songs I’m making. This music with sex-driven chauvinistic undertone to it.
Miike Snow – “Paddling Out” Video
The sparkling Swedish electro-pop unit Miike Snow are about to drop their new album Happy To You, and we’ve already posted the new tracks “Paddling Out,” “Devil’s Work,” and the Lykke Li collab “Black Tin Box.” And now “Paddling Out” has an expensive, borderline-incomprehensible video in which a slob discovers a pair of magical dancing shoes. Space-people then kidnap our hero and attempt to transform him into the perfect man, and things get weirder from there. Consider yourself warned: This thing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
M.I.A. - Bad Girls (Official Video)
It’s oddly reassuring that M.I.A. can just swoop in and reclaim her coolest-person-on-Earth anytime she feels like it. I was worried for a minute there.

The Darkness – “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us”
British rawk revivalists the Darkness, still best-known for believing in a thing called love, parted ways in 2006, but they’re back together and yowling as loud as ever. In the video for their new single “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us,” a young megafan shows off a Darkness shrine, and a series of ridiculous animations show the band in all sorts of absurdist rock-out posts. This is a video where the guitarist’s arms turn into guitars when he’s playing a guitar solo, and then his legs and head do too. So obviously, this is something you’re going to want to watch. It’s below.
M. Ward - The First Time I Ran Away
We haven’t seen much of M. Ward without Zooey Deschanel as of late, but that’s set to change as he prepares to drop A Wasteland Companion this spring. Today he dropped an animated clip to that record’s first single, “The First Time I Ran Away,” directed by Joel Trussell and animated by Joel Moser, Marius Alecse, Gene Blakefield, Kelly Turnbull, Frank Macchia and Adam Scarpita.
Imperial Teen – “Runaway”
The video for “Runaway,” the new single from power-pop long-timers Imperial Teen, focuses on a party where people wear paper Imperial Teen masks and try on each other’s outfits. Fun party! The video itself is a vivid, pastel-colored affair, and we need one of those every once in a while. Andrew G. Mueller directs. Watch it below.
Girls’ Generation Bring K-Pop To Letterman
A few months ago, this New York Times article sent me on an hours-long YouTube binge of Korean pop videos. K-pop is a relatively young genre, and if you give yourself over to it, it works as a deeply fascinating funhouse-mirror reflection of the last few generations of Western teenpop. K-pop groups tend to include ridiculously huge numbers of singers, all wearing very complicated haircuts, all singing factory-pop songs put together with absolute precision by teams of professionals. The ultra-glossy high-budget videos are compulsively watchable even when the songs are boring ballads, and the entire genre is a big enough deal, apparently, that a K-pop showcase can sell out Madison Square Garden.
My understanding is limited, but apparently the nine-member Girls’ Generation is the biggest girl group in Korea, and they’re also huge in Japan. And now Universal is making a respectable attempt at breaking them in the U.S., releasing an Anglicized version of their album The Boys and getting them booked on last night’s episode of the Late Show With David Letterman. Below, watch the band performing the English version of their ridiculously catchy monster hit “The Boys,” a song that was better when only its chorus was in English but which will probably be stuck in your head all day regardless. As a special bonus, you get to see Bill Murray and Regis Philbin reacting to the spectacle exactly as you’d expect.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
I was introduced to “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” iPad app by my friend’s five-year-old son while traveling the North Island of New Zealand at the end of last year.
I remember being amazed by the quality and detail that went into this interactive narrative experience. Created by Moontbot Studios and directed by William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg, the app is an adaptation of the award-winning short-film of the same name that, as of last week, has been nominated for an Oscar.
Inspired in equal measures by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story about a man’s love for books. After a huge storm that takes everything from him, the protagonist finds himself in a magical place where books are alive and become his friends. The rest is a journey worth watching. Enjoy.
