Pianos Become The Teeth - “Ripple Water Shine” (Official Video)

Baltimore post-hardcore band Pianos Become The Teeth released their third LP, Keep You, this past fall, along with two videos for the song “Repine.” Now they’ve shared another video — this time for their sorrowful album cut “Ripple Water Shine” — directed by Tyler W. Davis, and featuring beautiful sunset shots on shimmering ocean water. It stars a dog owner and his beloved hound as they drive around in a red truck through the countryside, play by the beach, and just be really adorable together. But all the joyful interactions turn into one big tearjerker at the end. All you dog lovers, hold your pups close!

Watch The First Teaser For Martin Scorsese & Mick Jagger’s ’70s Music Drama Vinyl

This is the world we live in: First we get a 15-second teaser of a teaser and, now that the teaser is here, it’s only a minute-long and expects you to wait around for the first full-length trailer. Ugh! But when the thing in question is the upcoming ’70s music-themed HBO series Vinyl — executive produced by Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter — that anticipation seems worth it. You can’t really tell much about how the series will actually play out, but it sure is exciting to watch — pretty much the epitome of “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” in video form.

of Montreal - “Last Rites At The Jane Hotel” (Official Video)

of Montreal have shared a video for “Last Rites At The Jane Hotel,” a track from Kevin Barnes’ latest effort, Aureate Gloom. The animated stop-motion clip was directed by Matthew Cooper, and starts off with the opening of a door that serves as the gateway to a realm of grotesquerie. A skeleton takes a seemingly endless ride on a bicycle, people take their faces off at will, there’s a lot of creepy-crawlies and even a band made up entirely of rabbits. It’s just as weird as it sounds, and you can watch.

Puff Daddy & The Family - “Finna Get Loose” (Feat. Pharrell) Video

Earlier this summer, Diddy revealed the old Puff Daddy & The Family name to release the ridiculously funky Pharrell collab “Finna Get Loose,” the best thing either of them has done in a long minute. And now they’ve brought in Hype Williams, one of the best music video directors of all time, to make the video. The clip captures Diddy and Pharrell rocking at what’s been made up to look like a grimy punk club, and it features a whole lot of dancing. Maybe this will finally rescue the Harlem shake from the Baauer videos! The video is straight-up kinetic motion, and you can watch.

tUnE-yArDs - “Rocking Chair” (Official Video)

tUnE-yArDs’ latest album, Nikki Nack, came out over a year ago, but Merrill Garbus’ music is so vibrant and lends itself so well to visual treatment that she’s still putting out videos. Back in March, we got one for “Wait For A Minute,” and now here’s a similarly low-key video for “Rocking Chair.” It was created by artist Sarah Pupo, who interprets the song through a cave drawing lens.

Watch Kurt Cobain Joke About His Chronic Stomach Pain In A Never-Before-Seen Montage Of Heck Outtake

The latest homage to the iconic Kurt Cobain came in the form of Brett Morgen’s critically-acclaimed documentary Montage Of Heck. The movie uses video clips from Cobain’s life to help tell the larger story of who he was both before and during Nirvana’s rise to fame. In anticipation of Montage’s return to theaters tomorrow, 8/7, here is a never-before-seen clip that was cut from the film itself. Cobain and his wife Courtney Love discuss his stomach problems and the hospital procedure he underwent to address gastro-intestinal issues. Due to that excruciating experience, in the clip Cobain is in bed next to a plate of food, and a bucket of his own vomit. 

Foals - “A Knife In The Ocean” Lyric Video

Foals previously debuted the What Went Down track “A Knife In The Ocean” in a live performance on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show a few weeks ago, and now they’ve shared the studio version. It also comes attached to a lyric video directed by Leif Podhajsky, which plays off the epic-sounding nature of the song with washed out footage of mountains, water, rebellion, and subtly violent imagery throughout. Listen below.

Girl Band - “Paul” (Official Video)

Skronky Dublin noise-punks Girl Band make visceral, assaultive music, music that crawls under your skin and then brutally bashes its way back out. The Band To Watch alums have worked unnerving magic with director Bob Gallagher before, and they continue to unsettle in the new video for “Paul,” the first song to be released from their upcoming debut full-length Holding Hands With Jamie. The clip, which premiered at NPR, follows a depressed, dead-eyed man who plays a costumed animal character on a children’s TV show. Gallagher explains:

While I was researching I watched a documentary about Big Bird and there’s a line where Caroll Spinney says that a woman was complimenting his performance but that she couldn’t see that inside the costume he was crying. It’s quite tragic. I think everyone has experiences of having to put on an outward expression and feeling trapped, so Paul’s costume is a visual extension of that. He’s inside the suit, at a distance from everybody around him, but wearing this absurd smile that’s totally false to what’s going on inside.

Gallagher and the band seem to take a perverse pleasure in upending the cheeriness of the setting — the video and song function as a pressure cooker, pounding drums and queasy bass circling insistently until the mounting anxiety explodes out into its inevitable violent conclusion. Watch, and keep an eye out for cameo appearances from every member of the band.

Atmosphere - “Sunshine” (Official Video)

This year, Rhymesayers, the label founded by the long-running Minneapolis underground rap duo Atmosphere, turns 20. And to celebrate that anniversary, Atmosphere have made a years-late video for one of their best-loved songs, 2007’s easy lope “Sunshine.” They made the new clip entirely with solar-power technology, and it tells the story of a girl who wakes up hungover and feels better once she rides her bike out into the world. Victor Rukavina directs.

Leftfield & Sleaford Mods - “Head And Shoulders” (Official Video)

Earlier this summer, prominent British dance outfit Leftfield released Alternative Life Source, its first album since 1999’s Rhythm And Stealth. The former duo was an influential force in electronic music and headlined festivals for years. But now Leftfield is solely led by Neil Barnes, who teamed up with a number of artists for the new release. One of the collabs features fellow Brits Sleaford Mods — the record’s lead single, “Head And Shoulders” — and now they’ve shared a video for the track. Directed by Ewan Morris and Casey Raymond, it features a crazed Pac-Man-like creature that roams the city and devours everything in sight, including Sleaford Mods’ Jason Williamson. The animation style changes throughout the video as the little yellow creature grows into one ugly monster. It’s either a child nightmare or a teenage trip.

Future - “I Serve The Base” (Official Video)

Future’s new DS2 is one of the year’s best rap albums, and the buzzing, merciless “I Serve The Base” is its hardest song. Director Elee Morgan has made a video for the song, but there’s no new footage in it. Instead, the whole clip is 11-year-old footage of a young Future doing illicit trap-house shit. It features a whole lot of guns and weed, and a few of the faces are blurred out. Future, it would seem, is intent on letting us know that his criminal past is real, that it goes back to the giant white T-shirt era.

footage u see online for I serve the base is not the video & to b honest it's lost files sum camera guy put out without my permission

Clarence Clarity - “Will To Believe” (Official Video)

Clarence Clarity’s fractured, bizzaro-pop insists that surrealism assume musical form, and while he somehow achieves that in the midst of the fragmented bliss that is No Now, videos are far more effective conduits for this kind of rupture. Accordingly, the video for “Will To Believe” is an addled-VCR filmstrip of scenes reduced to neon negatives and re-magnified through a screen of Clarity’s unnerving omnipotence in his own universe. If that jazzy bit threaded through the glassy, confetti chorus doesn’t make you believe in Clarity’s worldview, then maybe this M. C. Escher-channeling video will.

Silversun Pickups - “Nightlight” (Official Video)

Los Angeles twinkle-rockers Silversun Pickups have a new album called Better Nature coming out next month, and they’ve just unveiled the glamorous, elaborate video for “Nightlight,” its first single. The song is a big, gleaming guitar-churn, the sort of big studio-rock anthem that not many people make anymore. And for the video, they linked up with the veteran music-video director Mark Pellington, best-known for directing Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy” video and for the movie Arlington Road. The video is an exercise in S&M-damaged L.A. noir aesthetics, with Boardwalk Empire actress Meg Steedle playing a femme fatale in a hallucinatory world.

Autre Ne Veut - “World War Pt. 2″ (Official Video)

Usually, I prefer listening to a song first and checking out any visuals that go along with it after, but I have to say that the video that goes along with Autre Ne Veut’s latest is absolutely mandatory viewing. It contextualizes the track in a way that makes it impossible to ignore, and provides an unsettling viewing experience on top of that. The video, which was directed by Allie Avital, features dancer Macy Sullivan wrapped around Arthur Alvin like a weight on his chest that he can’t get off. I think it symbolizes hard-to-get-rid-of childhood memories or something like that, but that’s beside the point. What matters here is how striking that image is — the closeup of Sullivan’s face as her eyes go wide and she screams out the high-pitched vocal sample is burned into your brain, and will forever pop up when you listen to this song. That’s how you make a good, effective video.

Migos - “What A Feeling” (Official Video)

Atlanta rap trio Migos released their strong official debut Yung Rich Nation just last week, and earlier this week, they gave us their video for the single “Pipe It Up.” And now they’re back with another video, albeit a much quicker and cheaper one. Quavo and Takeoff, the two non-incarcerated members of the group, co-directed the “What A Feeling” video, and it’s a crude smash-up of performance footage and murky strip-club images that render the video slightly NSFW. But it’s fun to watch these guys rap, and the final moments, in which all their associates lip-synch the song’s hook, make for a nice visual.

Harrison - “How Can It Be” (Feat. Maddee) Video

The worst possible way to dump someone is via text. It’s inconsiderate, lacks respect, and is just so ridiculously juvenile — yet sadly, it’s all too relatable. Toronto-based producer Harrison is the protégé of Ryan Hemsworth and Star Slinger. The video for his song “How Can It Be” shares an intimate text message breakup from the point of view of the breakup instigator’s phone. The best part: It is actually meant to be played on your phone. The images fit the phone screen perfectly in a way that casts you, the viewer, as the one who is tearing this relationship apart. Sometimes things are just easier to deal with through a screen rather than in person. Watch and see.

Windhand - “Crypt Key” (Official Video)

Richmond, Virginia doom-metallers Windhand recently announced plans to follow up their great 2013 album Soma with a new one called Grief’s Infernal Flower. We’ve heard one song, “Two Urns,” and now they’ve shared a video for another one, a deep bluesy trudge called “Crypt Key.” The band members appear in director Jordan Vance’s video, in murky and shadowy form. But most of it is made up of creepy, tripped-out stock footage: Jester toys, church gatherings, a floating purple skull. The real reason to watch the video isn’t anything visual, though. It’s to hear the way Dorthia Cottrell’s voice floats above that swamp of guitars.

Worriers - “Most Space” (Official Video)

The New York punk band Worriers just released the very good album Imaginary Life, which Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace produced, and now they’ve made the first video from that album. Band leader Lauren Denitzio produced, shot, and edited the video for the New York anxiety anthem “Most Space.” It shows the members of the band and various other New York punk rockers (including Slice Harvester zine star Colin Atrophy) making themselves at home on a New York subway car. Rookie posted the video, and you can watch.
