T.I. - “Turn It” (Official Video)

Jeezy’s new banger “Me OK” is not this morning’s only example of a longtime Atlanta rap star going on attack mode. T.I. has a new single called “Turn It,” which sounds like an 808 being used as a jackhammer. He also has a new video for said single, which features Tip arriving via helicopter on an Atlanta rooftop and rapping in a hallway full of fireballs. There is nothing revolutionary about the song or the video, but if you’re the type of person predisposed to enjoy T.I. at his most feral, you will probably enjoy it as much as I do.

Oscar - “Sometimes” (Official Video)

Last month we premiered “Sometimes,” a delightfully Parklife-influenced indie-pop ditty from Oscar’s 146b EP. Now the song has a striking video by Jesse John Jenkins that involves images of Oscar muching on various foodstuffs in a bathtub spliced with women crying their eyes out in the same tub.

Deltron 3030 - “Do You Remember” ft. Jamie Cullum (Official Video)

Deltron 3030 — aka Del The Funky Homosapien, Dan The Automator, and Kid Koala — have released a video for single “Do You Remember,” from the 2013 LP Event II. The video juxtaposes the nostalgic memories of a “simpler time” spoken of by Del (“Not to get too nostalgic but some of those things had value”) and the dark reality of the present. Set in a desolate, almost post-apocalyptic world, the video is beautiful and sad.

Flying Lotus (feat. Laura Darlington) - "Phantasm" (Official Video)

Flying Lotus has shared a video for "Phantasm" off last year's great Until the Quiet Comes. Shot in New Zealand, by Markus Hofko, it's a surreal desert scene focused on two peculiar creatures, including one who transforms throughout the shot. As Hofko writes at Vimeo, "Nice and simple. And complicated." The song itself features vocals from Laura Darlington of the Long Lost.

How To Dress Well - “Repeat Pleasure” (Official Video)

Last month, the insular R&B auteur Tom Krell, better known as How To Dress Well, shared the sharp and lovely “Repeat Pleasure,” the first single from his eagerly awaited new album What Is This Heart?. (He’s also shared another one called “Words I Don’t Remember,” and that’s a good one, too.) “Repeat Pleasure” now has a video, and it’s the first part in a trilogy from creative director Luke Gilford. Johannes Greve Muskat directed this one, and it tells the story of two young people attempting to deal with the illness of a loved one. (It would probably qualify as mumblecore if we could hear them talking.) Krell himself plays a couple of small roles.

2 Chainz - “Trap Back” (Official Video)

“Trap Back” is the first song on Freebase, the ridiculously enjoyable EP-length mixtape that 2 Chainz released on Monday, and its new video, from director Alex Nazari, is a relatively minimal exercise in cartoonish coolness. 2 Chainz spends most of the black-and-white video piloting a low-rider bicycle through Compton, California. He also spends some time rapping outside a car in what appears to be a bathrobe. He appears utterly blissfully unaware that he looks ridiculous, and that right there is a workable definition of cool.

Pearls Negras - “Guerreira” (Official Video)

Pearls Negras are three badass teenage Brazilian rappers, and they earned a Mixtape Of The Week earlier this year for their giddy, bouncy-as-hell Biggie Apple tape. They just came out with a new video for their track “Geurreira,” which isn’t on the tape but which has the same all-out energy as the songs that are. Directors David Alexander, Samuele Apperti, and Riccardo Cellottini film the group riding a military truck through Rio De Janeiro streets and strutting along beaches and through jungles, looking cooler than anyone you know.

Black Bananas – “Physical Emotions” (Official Video)

Just judging from the single art along with the actual music, if someone was going to make a music video out of Black Bananas’ new song “Physical Emotions,” it would need to be pretty ridiculous. Director M. Wartella definitely delivers with this visually loud clip that features Jennifer Herrema playing a magical boom box which then spawns a man not unlike some sort of funk genie. It’s a good time and you can watch.

Big K.R.I.T. - “MT. Olympus” (Official Video)

Big K.R.I.T.’s incensed, fiery Southern-rap fuck-you “MT. Olympus” was one of our favorite songs of last week. The new video is a good one, too, even though K.R.I.T. himself is the only person who appears onscreen the entire time and even though director KRSP’s camera and editing tricks are a bit cheesy. This is the rare rap video that gets over on performance alone — and, even more than that, on the look in the rapper’s eye.

Paloma Faith - "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" (NSFW)(Official Video)

Courtney Love - “You Know My Name” (Official Video)

Directed by Maximilla Lukacs, the clip features a heavily made-up C-Lo trashing a hotel room in decidedly grand fashion — it looks and feels a bit like Sofia Coppola’s ravishing, dreamlike Marie Antoinette.

Hey Dolls! This is the world premiere of my music video, You Know My Name. I'm so excited to be getting back to my rocker roots and doing what I love. I had so much fun making it and I hope you all enjoy it! Don't forget to subscribe for more exclusive videos right here: http://bit.ly/CourtneyFan

Lana Del Rey - “West Coast” (Official Video)

UPDATE: Looks like the video has been pulled, and a new version will be released tomorrow.

For my money, Lana Del Rey’s “West Coast” is one of the best songs of the year, and I say this as someone who’s not historically a fan of Lana Del Rey and totally ambivalent about the music made by the song’s producer, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys. This is just a haunting, hypnotic piece of music that sends chills up and down my entire skeleton, especially when the tempo shifts downward on the chorus. Anyway, the new song has a new video, a black-and-white clip of LDR narcotically flitting around some Pacific Ocean shorefront. I don’t think it enhances the song’s power in any particular way, but it’s (wisely) understated enough not to detract from the music. And you can watch it here.

Savages - “Fuckers” (Official Video)

Savages just released a new 12″ single, “Fuckers” b/w “Dream Baby,” and today, the A-side is joined by a video directed by Giorgio Testi. The clip features the band in concert, normally not the most exciting format, but Savages are one of the best live bands on the planet, and I really think hearing them without seeing them is an incomplete experience. Plus, it’s beautifully shot and absolutely captures Savages’ intense live magic over the course of the song’s nine climactic and chaotic minutes. Watch.

Metronomy - "Reservoir" (Official Video)

In support of their new album Love Letters, Metronomy have put out some great music videos, including the Michel Gondry-directed clip for the LP’s title track. Their latest one for the song “Reservoir” is a whimsical, free-flowing cartoon directed by Daniel Brereton and animated by Matt Lloyd.

Mt. Royal - “More” (Official Video)

Mt. Royal brings together members of Baltimore indie-rock greats Celebration, Lake Trout, and touring members of current cause célèbre Future Islands in service of brisk, brawny, bass-driven post-punk. “More,” from the group’s Dave-Fridmann-produced self-titled EP, is a fine example of that sound in which singer Katrina Ford’s breathy exultations unfurl over a slowly intensifying rhythmic churn. Director Derrick Belcham’s video sets the song to visuals of a kid in overalls having a delightful romp through nature involving a beloved stuffed fox. Things take an unexpectedly touching turn at the end.

Usher - “Good Kisser” (Official Video)

The slick video mostly works as a reminder that Usher is a better dancer than you.

Garbage - “Girls Talk” (Feat. Brody Dalle) (Official Video)

Garbage released two songs for Record Store Day this year: “Girls Talk” with Distillers frontwoman Brody Dalle and “Time Will Destroy Everything.” The former now has a video to go along with it, which sees Shirley Manson and Dalle ferociously singing in-studio while the song aggressively builds to a climax where even the camera is shaking around.

Rick Ross - “Thug Cry” (Feat. Lil Wayne) Video

Rick Ross’s “Thug Cry” is a mellow, meditative song from Ross’s not-great new album Mastermind, and its new video, from longtime Ross associate DRE Films, intercuts footage of Ross and Wayne rapping with a larger story. Wood Harris, best known as Avon Barksdale on The Wire, plays a convict just getting out of prison, and the video goes on to show a couple of possible futures for him.
