Kanye West / Ruth Hogben - Lost in the World

Kanye West / Ruth Hogben - Lost in the World Filmmaker Ruth Hogben collaborates with award-winning musician Kanye West to create a film for his single Lost in the World. The song, which features Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, is taken from West's fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Hogben's piece breaks the mould of popular rap aesthetics while still celebrating the extraordinary talent that has made West a modern icon.

Dr Dog - "Lonesome"

In Dr. Dog’s new video for “Lonesome,” the band members play vagrants who are kidnapped and forced into black hostage hoods, and then somebody throws food at them. It’s weird.

Lower Dens - Propagation

In the video for Lower Dens’ expansive new jam “Propagation,” we see the members of the dreamy Baltimore band, painted white and wearing glowing beekeeper outfits while traipsing through a forest and engaging in some sort of magical alien ritual involving other things that glow. It’s weird. Sebastian Mlynarski directs.

Xiu Xiu – “Honeysuckle”

You can always count on Xiu Xiu to make your stomach do funny things. The video for “Honeysuckle,” a dark twinkle of a synthpop song from their recent album Always, focuses on group member Angela Seo as she goes about the mundane business of her day. But somehow, the video finds room for about 20 different disturbing, gut-twisting images — some of which just come from a close-up on the exact wrong thing, some of which seem to exist in Seo’s fantastical brain. Amir Shoucri directs.

Tennis - My Better Self

Here’s the clip for Tennis’s “My Better Self,” a video that willfully conjures up a Twin Peaks roadhouse vibe. Chris Osborn and Matthew Shorr direct.

Perfume Genius – “Dark Parts” (Dir. Winston Case)

The scenes of Mike Hadreas and his mom together are real-talk touching and heartwarming, but then there are all these disappearing masked people hanging out in the background, lending an air of Lynchian creepiness to the entire project. And so the video turns out to be both deeply confusing and compelling. We never learn exactly what’s going on, and everyone involved deserves credit for letting things stay this ambiguous.

Sistar – “Alone”

That’s right: Another K-pop video! The people of South Korea are currently doing pop-music videos the way Russell Mulcahy and Wayne Isham originally intended, turning them into massive, glittery pop-culture events. In this one, the members of the girl-group Sistar show a whole lot of leg and visit the Circus Circus casino in Vegas, thus giving me happy flashbacks to various Mase and Monster Magnet videos. Fun fact: When I was 10, my family stayed for a little while in the Circus Circus trailer park, and the casino had a video arcade the size of an airplane hanger. It was so beautiful that I wanted to cry. This seems somehow relevant to the video in question. Also, the song sounds vaguely like Phoenix.

The Dark Knight Rises – New Trailer

The Dark Knight Rises has a new trailer out. It’s kind of a big deal. This time we see a lot more Catwoman and John Blake (Gordon Joseph-Levitt). While it’s fantastic that there’s another Christopher Nolan Batman and I have no doubt it’ll be a great movie, I gotta be honest I was much more excited at this stage of The Dark Knight‘s promotional campaign. There I couldn’t wait to see how they were going to realise Two-Face, and how the Joker was going to be portrayed. Here Catwoman and Bane don’t have that mystery about them, and are much less exciting by comparison. Also there’s really no imagery here that we didn’t see in the previous film, I think the cinematography in The Dark Knight trailer was more exciting. The Bat-plane seems too silly to me. And the longer Christian Bale’s career goes on, the less exciting he is as an actor. Just saying. Now tell me I’m wrong in the comments.

Lovely Monster

Sophia is a lovely 21-year-old girl with “a rare and very dangerous condition.” She’s a monster. It’s an accident of birth, and the condition restricts her life in many ways. In this “documentary” by Francisco Calabrese, you will eventually see how her condition manifests itself. NSFW language. -via The Daily What
