Bat For Lashes – “A Wall”

Bat For Lashes just released her new video for “A Wall,” a shivery song from The Haunted Man. Noel Paul, who directed Natasha Khan in Bat For Lashes’ “Laura” and “All Your Gold” videos, once again helms, as a blond-wigged and extravagantly drunk Khan enjoys the company of a dude dressed as a furry at a bleary New Years party.

A$AP Rocky – “Long Live A$AP” (Explicit)

Just before Christmas, A$AP Rocky debuted the video for “Long Live A$AP,” the hazy title track from his new album. Alongside Samantha Lecca, Rocky directed the video himself, and he plays some sort of debauched king in a desolate, enchanted palace.

Taylor Swift – “I Knew You Were Trouble”

Taylor Swift – “I Knew You Were Trouble” (Dir. Anthony Mandler)

Taylor Swift as a punk-rock sprite, screaming while a guy in a Misfits backpatch kicks the shit out of her dirtbag boyfriend? A romantic betrayal at a desert rave? The first dubstep bass-drop in pop-country history? I’m sorry, you guys, but I can’t see how anyone would want to resist this.

Green Day - "X-Kid" (Video)

Billie Joe, Mike and Tre have release a weirdly mesmerising video for 'X-Kid,' taken from most recent album '¡Tre!'

She & Him – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (Official Music Video)

She & Him have released a video for their rendition of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which is off their Christmas album A Very She & Him Christmas.

The video for the classic duet features an animated Zooey Deschanel doing everything in her power to keep M. Ward (who is also animated) from leaving a cabin in a wintery field. Veering away from the original, She & Him’s rendition has switched the traditional female vocal with the male’s creating a modern twist on this holiday classic. Director: Elliot Dear.

Hooray For Earth - "Never / Figure" (Official Music Video)

Way back in August, Brooklyn psych-pop band Hooray For Earth released the “Never” b/w “Figure” 7″, and now that single, which was good, seems to exist entirely as an excuse for the hallucinatory video. In the clip, a rumpled teacher finds himself on the run from theory and maybe, depending on your interpretation, at death’s door. A seven-and-a-half-minute music video can be a tough sell, but this is one that you should watch.

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire – “Fuck 1 Time” (Explicit)

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire filmed the video for “Fuck 1 Time,” a track from his The Man In The High Castle mixtape, on location in downtown Manhattan during the Hurricane Sandy blackout. This was a smart idea, since it lends a sense of urgency to the video and since the only lighting comes from a spazzing-out flashlight, police flashers, and whatever starlight manages to shine through the murk of New York smog. Shane Annas directs.

Roc Marciano - 76

On his great new album Reloaded, Roc Marciano perfects a sort of impressionistic reflection of the New York headknock music of the mid-’90s. And similarly, in the video for album standoutu “76,” director Jason Goldwatch does interesting things with bygone eras, filming grimy New York locations in 8mm film to get that old grainy B-movie ambiance.

Sunglasses - "Swim"

"Swim" by Sunglasses
From the album, Wildlife on Mush Records
Director: Harrison Jaffee & Brian Urman
Written By: Samuel Cooper
Producer: Jeremy Aidan & Harrison Jaffee
Production Company: Smallest Violin Productions

In the clip, directed by Harrison Jaffee and Brian Urman, the band is at the center of some noir-ish drama situated at a nightclub; their multilayered summertime psych-pop soundtracks the action.

Fat Creeps – “Daydreaming”

Music: FAT CREEPS
Video: AVI PAUL WEINSTEIN

In September, we introduced you to Fat Creeps, a Boston three-piece who match dark garage-rock guitar riffs with dissonant harmonies for some of the catchiest ’90s-inspired pop songs we’ve heard all year. This week the band has revealed a video for a new song, “Daydreaming,” set to appear on a 12″ split with ZEBU! coming out in early 2013 on one of New England’s best record labels, Feeding Tube Records of Northampton, MA. The track is their tightest yet, with guitarist Gracie Jackson and bassist Mariam Saleh’s girl-gang vocals backed up by Jim Leonard’s heavy drumming. The video, shot by Avi Paul Weinstein, finds the trio running around their hometown, Lynn, MA, playing in the Lynnway Mart, Kiley Park, and Mariam’s bedroom.

Major Lazer - Jah No Partial ft. Flux Pavilion (official Video)

Major Lazer’s recent single “Jah No Partial,” a collaboration with EDM dude Flux Pavilion, is a weird but exhilarating collision between arena-dubstep and old-school reggae. And its brand-new video shows Diplo and friends on the road, bringing their ridiculously fun live show to festivals across the world. (Belgium, we learn, goes off.) Water cannons blast, dancers do impossibly funky shit, Diplo gleefully bites Wayne Coyne’s crowd-walking bubble, and the whole thing is a lot of fun.

Peaking Lights - "Beautiful Dub" (Official Video)

Earlier this month, Wisconsin production duo Peaking Lights released Lucifer In Dub, an album of dubbed-out versions of tracks from their already-trippy 2012 LP Lucifer. “Beautiful Son,” the married duo’s absolutely beautiful song for their infant, was a highlight of Lucifer, and now there’s a video for the song’s dub version. Director Mike Seely sets the song to old surfing footage, making it slightly more psychedelic. The end result is oddly comforting.

Star Trek Into Darkness NEW Trailer (2013) - JJ Abrams Movie

Star Trek Into Darkness Official Trailer (2013) - JJ Abrams Movie

After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

The Killers – “Here With Me” ft. Winona Ryder (Dir. Tim Burton)

The Killers clearly are trying to flush their video vaults before the new year, as this is their second one this week alone. Are there tax implications to carrying over completed music videos into the next calendar year? Probably. That’s probably the explanation. The Tim Burton-directed “Here With Me” has a two-tier structure — band performing in an entirely empty, ostentatiously grand performance hall, and pale guy with bug eyes who was the lead in Richard Ayoade’s Submarine caught in a Mannequin-like romance. That is, he’s in love with a wax Winona Ryder, which occasionally comes to life to love him back. As we learn in the end, mannequins are great to love because they can be your date at dinner and also your candle. Every story has a moral.

McCartney & Nirvana Members – “Cut Me Some Slack” Studio Version & SNL Performance

VID
Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Pat Smear Perform on ‘SNL’

In one of those bizarre and unforseeable titans-clashing musical events, Paul McCartney linked up with the surviving members of Nirvana, reunited for the occasion, to play a few songs at last week’s 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief show. Among those songs was a hearteningly ass-whomping new one called “Cut Me Some Slack,” which will show up on the soundtrack to Dave Grohl’s forthcoming Nirvana documentary Sound City. And this weekend, the studio version of the song emerged online. Meanwhile, McCartney served as musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and he brought the Nirvana trio with him to blast the song out again. Check out the studio and SNL versions of the song below.

MNDR - Feed Me Diamonds (Featuring Raven) (Official Video)

If you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race, you’ll recognize the queen getting gussied up then taking the stage to perform MNDR’s yearning “Feed Me Diamonds” as Raven. And if not, then meet Raven! She’s on RuPaul’s Drag Race. As you can tell from Peter LaBier’s video, she’s the rare TV star working to dramatically boost the volume of her ass, which is bold and alluring.

Jessie Ware - "Sweet Talk"

The videos for the singles off Jessie Ware's debut album, Devotion, have largely been classy, simple affairs directed by Ware's visual collaborator, Kate Moross. But the promo for "Sweet Talk" is an unexpectedly cute clip where sharply dressed little kids act out Ware and producer Julio Bashmore's roles in the studio (the Invisible's Dave Okumu also produced), have a food fight, then play out their creation for Mama Ware (Jessie in some sharp horn-rimmed glasses) at home in a festively decked-out lounge.

Paul McCartney Front Nirvana, Chris Martin Duet With Michael Stipe, and Kanye West at the 12-12-12 Benefit

Last night's 12-12-12 Sandy benefit saw Kanye West wearing a leather skirt, Coldplay's Chris Martin almost looking bashful as R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe joined him for a duet, and, yes, Paul McCartney fronting Nirvana to perform a new song written by the surviving members, "Cut Me Some Slack". Of course, Courtney Love was regally "not amused," as she told TMZ.

Check out footage of all three performances below, along with a video where Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic talk about their new song and performing with the Beatles legend.

Dirty Projectors - "Offspring Are Blank" (Official Music Video)

A few months ago, Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth released his Hi Custodian short film, which used a bunch of songs from the band’s Swing Lo Magellan album. And now, like the “About To Die” video before it, the video for the surprisingly hard-rocking album opener “Offspring Are Blank” is built entirely from footage shot for Hi Custodian. This one, which is beautifully shot, has a whole lot of a radiation-suited Longstreth hanging out at a landfill and of the band playing at the base of a misty mountain.

FIDLAR – “Gimme Something”

Hedonistic L.A. punks FIDLAR’s video for their strummy, catchy-as-fuck number “Gimme Something” doesn’t feature FIDLAR at all. Instead, it appears to be made up entirely of ancient footage from a Creedence Clearwater Revival show, manipulated so that it looks like Creedence are playing “Gimme Something.”

Toro Y Moi – “So Many Details” Video

Home-studio memory-manipulator Toro Y Moi releases his new album Anything In Return next month, and now the awesomely squirmy plastic-soul first single “So Many Details” gets a video. In the HARRYS-directed clip, Chaz Bundick takes a weekend getaway with a beautiful girl and rocks a seriously impressive series of ’70s-movie ensembles, generally looking way more pimp than you’d expect this guy to look. It’s a pretty great video, and you should consider.

Wavves - "Sail To The Sun" (Official Music Video)

A priest figure with a double life does drugs and brings two young women to a sleazy hotel

Wavves are coming back with a new album this spring, and they worked on it with pop producer John Hill. First single “Sail To The Sun” is a fast, snotty rager that sounds a lot like the songs Williams always writes, but it’s cleaner and more direct than any of his older stuff; he’s going for it with this one. The song’s video, directed by BLACK // DOCTOR, tells the story of a televangelist living a fucked-up drugs-and-hookers double life.

Actors: Steven Bartlett, Olivia Bellafontaine, Sekoia Grant, Teremy Jackson

Frightened Rabbit – “The Woodpile”

The video for “The Woodpile,” a swollen and emotional song from braying Scottish rockers Frightened Rabbit’s forthcoming Pedestrian Verse, is a single-shot tableau of a bloody scene in a New York bodega. The members of the band join a crowd of onlookers at the scene of an accident, and you should probably stay tuned for the surprise-ending punchline.

Google Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review

See how the world searched with Google's 2012 Zeitgeist:
http://google.com/zeitgeist

Music: "All I Want" by Kodaline
Produced by Whirled Creative

Fucked Up – “Inside A Frame”

 The brand-new video for “Inside A Frame,” one of the prime ragers from Fucked Up’s great 2011 album David Comes To Life, mostly takes place at a tough-kid dance-crew choreography practice, and it’s pure melodrama. It’s also a nice indication that the makers of the next Step Up movie should seriously throw a Fucked Up song or two in there.

The Killers – “Miss Atomic Bomb”

 The Killers already made one video for their grand widescreen anthem “Miss Atomic Bomb,” but that one was just live footage, and clearly someone realized that the song needed a video as huge and ridiculous as the thing itself. And so here we get a mostly-animated clip about a fantastical futuristic love story that eventually features Eric Roberts in his post-”Mr. Brightside” return to the Killers-video fold.

Charlie Brown - She Makes Me

Charlie Brown is back and ready to claim the breakthrough nametag for 2013. Following the release of his debut single 'Dependency' which has received flawless reviews from his fans, media and his peers, Charlie looks set to cement his position at the top of the industry with the viral release of 'She Makes Me.' The track will support the release of Charlie's new single 'On My Way'. Cheeky, flirty and giving girls an insight into how men think the track will be released early next year due to high demand. Charlie's soulful vocals coupled with the captivating songwriting shows exactly why he is THE one to watch.

Nicki Minaj - Fly (Clean) ft. Rihanna

Music video by Nicki Minaj performing Fly.

The Presets – “Promises”

The new video for Aussie dance-rock duo the Presets’ new single “Promises” is a propulsive stream of disconnected images — some CGI, some flesh-and-blood. Special Problems direct.

SSION – “Psy-Chic”

Over the years, KC genre (and gender) experimenter Cody Crichteloe aka SSION has amassed some impressive video directing/producing credits  alongside a steady output of his own outré-pop creations.

Prince Rama – “So Destroyed”

In Tom’s great Album Of The Week piece on Prince Rama’s Top 10 Hits Of The End Of The World, he says that this concept album allowed the sisterly group to “start investigating pop ideas, but … in an exploratory and unserious way” and that by “tying all those songs in with an explicitly apocalyptic theme, they’ve also freed themselves from the burden of writing straight-up pop music, instead indulging an end-times fervor that makes their music both more urgent and more diffuse.” The track “So Destroyed” is in many ways the perfect distillation of that line of thought, and for its video, Prince Rama turned to their fans to submit homemade videos for a “So Destroyed” Dance Contest. The results were edited by Nimai Larson that is exploratory, unserious, diffuse, and most importantly, perfectly silly, which is nice counterpoint to the self-seriousness that usually accompanies concept projects.

El Perro Del Mar – “Hold Off The Dawn”

The video for El Perro Del Mar’s skittering, assured, dance-inflected single “Hold Off The Dawn” is a beautifully shot live-in-studio thing from directors Bell And Light. It’s always fun to watch people pounding out heavily synthesized music with actual drumsticks and stuff.

Twin Shadow – “The Ones” Video

This summer, Twin Shadow released the very good sophomore album Confess. And today, they’ve released a digital single of the album track “The Ones” — not the version from the album, but a lovely acoustic rendition that frontman George Lewis Jr. played during a recent KCRW session. Lewis also made a shaky, cobbled-together montage of a video for that version.

How To Dress Well – “& It Was U”

The skittering gospel-house thumper “& It Was U” is my favorite song from How To Dress Well’s excellent sophomore album Total Loss, and now it has a video from director Luke Gilford. Tom Krell, otherwise known as How To Dress Well, doesn’t appear. Instead, it tells the story of a gold-lame-wearing, Segway-riding vision who appears to some kind of hybrid prayer circle/dance troupe. It’s a deeply strange and absorbing video.

Tracey Thorn – “Joy”

A few weeks ago, Everything But The Girl singer Tracey Thorn released her solo Christmas album Tinsel And Lights, which has covers of seasonal music from people like Sufjan Stevens and the White Stripes. One of the album’s few originals is the plainspoken, sincere opener “Joy.” And in that song’s new video, we see Thorn wandering around Christmastime London, as the camera calmly and lovingly lingers on all the lights.

Seapony - "Be Alone"

Dominic Lord releases the deluxe version of his Fashion Show EP, along with the video for its lead-off track

The Invisible Hand – “Psychic Cat”

As a proud resident of Charlottesville, VA, I feel obligated to let you know that the Invisible Hand, probably the city’s biggest indie band at the moment, are really, really good at making charged-up power-pop. Their “Psychic Cat” video is full of local landmarks, which is fun for me and probably less so for you. But the real reason to click is the quick little energy-burst of a song.

The Decemberists On The Simpsons

 
The Simpsons: It’s still on! Last night’s episode of the venerated animated institution, which I did not watch, concerned the hipsterification of Springfield, and the episode’s guest voices included Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, Patton Oswalt, and the Decemberists, who managed to look smug even as cartoons. Watch a quick glimpse of the band, in Simpsons form in the clip.

Sigur Rós – “Leaning Towards Solace” Short Film (Feat. Elle Fanning & John Hawkes)

Leaning Towards Solace from Sigur Rós Valtari Mystery Films on Vimeo.

 

For the better part of the year, Sigur Rós have been taking part in their Valtari Mystery Film Experiment, in which they commission different artists to make short films out of songs from their recent album Valtari. The latest entry in the series, and apparently the final one, comes from director Floria Sigismondi, and it may be the strongest one yet. The sort film is called “Leaning Toward Solace,” and it uses two songs, “Dauðalogn” and “Varúð.” The film takes place in a rural desert slum, and it stars Elle Fanning as a young ballet dancer and the great John Hawkes as a self-doubting father. It’s all lingering shots on faces and sadly gorgeous atmosphere, and nothing much happens until the absolutely inexplicable ending, but it’s gorgeous regardless.

Wooden Wand – “Supermoon”

The-Dream (Terius Nash) - "Wake Me When It's Over"

Last year, The-Dream, recording as real name Terius Nash, released the free mixtape 1977. And later this month, he’ll release a commercial version of it, complete with bonus tracks. And now he’s got a video for the 1977 track “Wake Me When It’s Over,” with the video mirroring the song’s lyrics about a relationship falling apart and the two people feeling powerless to stop its slide. I honestly can’t tell if that’s fucking or abuse happening at the end there.

Nguzunguzu - "Smoke Alarm"

Watch NGUZUNGUZU's smoky lazer light show in their new video

Autre Ne Veut – “Counting” (Feat. Mykki Blanco)

The bedroom-R&B newcomer Autre Ne Veut now has a video for his great breakout single “Counting,” in which both he and the song’s guest, gender-bending New York rapper Mykki Blanco, play sad hospital orderlies. David Riley directs.

POP ETC – “Speak Up”

The new song and video by POP ETC from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2".

“Speak Up” is the former Morning Benders’ contribution to the soundtrack of teen-vampire-romance blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and it oscillates between delicate acoustic folk and digital Auto-Tune pop. The song’s brand new video, directed by fourclops, intercuts between footage of the movie and images of the band on a picturesque sunset sail, with (possibly CGI) dolphins jumping alongside the boat.

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up (Uncensored)

YACHT – “Second Summer”

Psychedelic Portland dance-party duo YACHT haven’t announced plans for a new album, but they’re giving us a new song and a new video anyway, to celebrate the fact that they’ve been an ongoing project for 10 years now (even if “they” where a “he” for a whole lot of those years). The new song is the streamlined, bumping “Second Summer,” and it nicely illustrates the idea that YACHT are still continuing to get better. And the video, from directors ADHD, is an animated thing about the druggy adventures of a smiling triangle.

M83 - "Wait" (Official video)

The directing team of Fleur & Manu have previously made two amazing videos for “Midnight City” and “Reunion,” two songs from M83′s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming! album, using them to tell the story of a group of escaped superpowered mutant children. Today, they give us the Creators Project-produced clip for “Wait,” which finishes those kids’ story in grand fashion. We catch up with them as they survey a world they may have helped to destroy, or fly through space in gleaming black pyramids. Wolves and vultures and manta rays and space-jumps all figure prominently. It’s beautiful and enthralling and quite possibly nonsensical.

Crooked Fingers – “Bad Blood”

Crooked Fingers hasn’t released an album since Breaks In The Armor, which came out in October 2011, so it’s decidedly odd to see the band dropping a video from that album now, in December 2012. But hey, a little extra Crooked Fingers is definitely never a bad thing! The clip for “Bad Blood” was directed by Jamie Fleischel and stars Mike Lust (both of whom work for AV Club) as the grown-up version of the kid from Van Halen’s 1984 album cover, which is a pretty funny concept IMO.

Chrome Canyon – “Pluze”

Last time out, Chrome Canyon’s Morgan Z directed and edited his video for “Memories Of A Scientist,” in which he played a mad scientist plumbing the depths of his sanity to create a keyboard-pop to save the world. Here on the slowcomotive synth-epic “Pluze,” Z turns over the directorial reins to Jennifer Juniper Stratford, who renders the track’s overall vibe with crossfades, dissolves, closeups, and an ’80s-psychedelic palette of colors and VHS filters.

Star Trek Into Darkness Japanese Trailer

Discover the first Star Trek Into Darkness trailer in this japanese special teaser for new J.J. Abrams movie

Earl Sweatshirt - Chum (Explicit)

Earl Sweatshirt hasn’t made a music video since “EARL,” the clip that put both him and his Odd Future crew on the map. But now he’s returned to the form with a video for “Chum,” the jaw-dropping and emotionally gut-scraping new song. In the dark and meditative black-and-white clip, Earl floats down an abandoned street and encounters giant frogs and skull-faced dogs. It’ll stick in your brain.

Shout Out Louds - "Blue Ice"

“Blue Ice,” the emotively precise new single from the Swedish band Shout Out Louds. And now here’s the mostly-CGI video, in which faces and bodies drift across the expanses of space and the camera runs laps around Saturn’s rings. Johan Toorell directs the psychedelic clip.

Cold Showers – “BC”

Here's "BC," the new video from Cold Showers, taken from the band's new album 'Love and Regret,' released this past October by Dais.

Directed by Brian Davila, with a cameo by Andrew King (Crystal Antlers), the video is an homage to films such as The Hunger, Society, and Night Of The Comet.

Ciudad Liquida - Cada Día Mas

The Killers – “I Feel It In My Bones” Video

The Killers have made an exceedingly, commendably goofy mini-tradition out of releasing Christmas songs, and we posted their latest, the mock-horror Santa story “I Feel It In My Bones,” yesterday. And now here’s the video, in which Santa is reinvisioned as a terrifying vengeful biker. Director Roboshobo has a whole hell of a lot of fun with early-MTV lighting and fog machines.

A$AP Rocky – “Fuckin’ Problems” (Feat. Drake, Kendrick Lamar & 2 Chainz)

A$AP Rocky recruited a hell of a lineup for “Fuckin’ Problem,” the sex-talk posse cut from his forthcoming album LONGLIVEA$AP. And all four guys show up in the brand-new video. It’s a pretty bare-bones affair: Some dancers, some fashionable black clothes, some blank backgrounds. And it lives and dies entirely on the rappers’ charisma. Fortunately, these are some charismatic motherfuckers; Drake, in particular, comes out looking like the coolest motherfucker on the face of the earth.

Unstoppable Death Machines - "Do The Devo"

"Unstoppable Death Machines - Do The Devo" - Directed by Nick Chatfield-Taylor

Sally Shapiro – “What Can I Do”

Sweden’s Sally Shapiro kind of disappeared after her 2009 sophomore album My Guilty Pleasure, but she’ll return in 2013 with a new album, Somewhere Else. We heard achingly sweet and earnest first single “What Can I Do” last month, and now we’ve got a video for the track. Directed by Jarett Sitter, the animated clip follows a silhouetted figure through a fantasy landscape, capturing both the song’s sadness as well as its sense of wonder.

Tomahawk - "Stone Letter" (Official Music Video)

Around the time Faith No More broke up, Mike Patton started a new band with a particularly burly and vicious lineup: Melvins’ Trevor Dunn, the Jesus Lizard’s Duane Denison, and Helmet’s John Stanier, who would later become the best part of every Battles show. Tomahawk has been largely inactive since 2007, but they’ve started touring again, and they released a new single called “Stone Letter” on Black Friday. The song’s video is all live-show footage.

A.C. Newman - "I'm Not Talking" (Official Music Video)

A.C. Newman gets real raw and emotional with a talk show host in the clip for “I’m Not Talking.” The General Assembly directs.

The Echo Friendly – “Supplies For Arson”

The Echo Friendly’s “Supplies For Arson” begins with some spoken word about the song title and “the Pencil Factory,” which probably isn’t about setting a Dixon Ticonderoga plant ablaze so much as it is a reference to this bar in Greenpoint and this boy/girl group’s tendency to go from flames to ex-flames: The Echo Friendly is Jake Rabinbach (ex-Francis & The Lights guitarist) and Shannon Esper, a pair of North Brooklyn residents who have turned the melodramatics around their ever-shifting relationship status into an song-cycle about it. (Think The Kills, though less slinky/more indie-pop/more romantically involved.) If you watch the show Girls, you may recognize their song “Same Mistakes” (and if you didn’t watch it, you can probably still guess what the track’s about). “Supplies For Arson” is just as direct, but for the opening’s double entendre, and its video frames their “are they, or not” story arc into a three-and-a-half minute video vignette.

Watch Florence Join The Rolling Stones In London

The Rolling Stones are in London playing a string of shows in celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, and last night the band brought out Florence Welch to wail on “Gimme Shelter.” She obliged.

Foxygen – “Shuggie”

In the mysterious, black-and-white Ulysses///Onasis-directed video for Foxygen’s assured, string-laded indie-pop tune “Shuggie,” a gleaming black box seems to stand in for a whole lot of people’s deepest longings and desires, or something. It’s pretty weird! Watch it below.

Eternal Summers – “Good As You”

Virginia indie-pop C86-throwbacks Eternal Summers released a terrific LP this past July, Correct Behavior, which has been unjustly overlooked on most of the year-end lists I’ve seen so far. So it’s a good time for the band to drop another video from the album (by my count its fourth!), reminding those of us who make such lists to take another look at ‘em. “Good As You” has the winsome sweetness of an old Softies ballad, all clean-tone guitar strum and Nicol Yun’s longing vocal, heavy on the echo. The video takes place partly in a dilapidated hospital, with the band in scrubs looking drugged, and partly in an underwater dreamworld.

Nosaj Thing - "Eclipse/Blue" [Official Video]

Interesting – and beautiful – music video for Nosaj Thing by Daito Manabe. Manabe employed a Point Grey camera to track the dancers – all graphics were projected in real time over the live performance. For more information on the piece, check out The Creators Project’s interview with Manabe.
