The Kills - Future Starts Slow



When it comes to music videos, the whole “life on tour” concept has been done to death. There’s only so much that can be done with long drives in a car, months of disconnect spent rushing around, and throngs of adoring fans praising a band’s very existence. But to give the rest of the world a sneak peek into their inner sanctum, The Kills’ Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince filmed every aspect of their lives on the road for the video for “Future Starts Slow”. Featuring the duo’s daily routine of taking walks and eating, the path of destruction they burn on stage each night, and some of the most adorably awkward pre-show kissing, The Kills make life as a rock star sound almost… normal.

Incubus - Promises, Promises



Continuing the minimalist theme of “Adolescents”, Incubus offer up another low-key video in the form of “Promises, Promises”. Featuring lots of performance footage (love the matching white outfits) and the band being filmed in front of a projector (watch out for the foot traffic, Brandon Boyd!), there’s simply not a whole lot going on in this clip. Nothing quite as disappointing as an empty promise, is there?

Explosions in the Sky - “Last Known Surroundings”



Explosions In The Sky have built a motley fanbase through six solid albums of transcendent, expansive guitar instrumentals. The Texan post-rockers’ profile was raised considerably by having some of those life-affirming compositions placed in Friday Night Lights, and that made many of us like them even more because Friday Night Lights is one of the best TV shows ever and those Taylors are so wholesome and good looking. But, despite the band’s burgeoning popularity over a dozen years, “Last Known Surroundings” is only their first music video. It was produced by Sissy Emmons and David Hobizal of Austin design studio Ptarmak and you can take their trippy, animated journey with clear eyes, full hearts below.

John Maus – “Head For The Country”



There’s a snoozy insularity and strange weightlessness to John Maus‘s We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves: This dreamy Jennifer Juniper Stratford-directed video of Maus camping out at home, walking alone in the snow, getting silently psyched on action films, driving his car by his lonesome, and making use of a satellite dish in his Austin, Minnesota work well with that overall vibe as well as with “Head For The Country,” specifically.
