Mates Of State – “Sway”

The video for Mates Of State’s “Sway” chronicles the budding romance between a woman who falls into an alternate world and a creature she meets there. Budding, because he’s a plant! Or something. Then they go to her prom where they’re the only two attendees, apparently, and Mates Of State is the house band. This does not speak my experience with proms or alternative dimensions.

Mister Heavenly - Bronx Sniper

The bands led by Honus Honus seem to have a way, of late, with mega-fun violent gang chaos in their videos. Last week brought us Man Man’s clip for “Pirhanas Club,” with its mob of baby greasers. And today, we get director Corey Adams‘s clip for “Bronx Sniper,” in which a little kid’s action figure comes to life, and that action figure and his ski-masked buddies terrorize the kid’s father and wreck his house in spectacular fashion. It’s cartoonish to the max, and the bloody finale makes no sense whatsoever.

High Places - Sonora

L.A. synth-exoticist duo High Places have already dropped a couple of deeply weird and beguiling video for “Altos Lugares” and “Sophia,” two tracks from their new album Original Colors. But their new clip for “Sonora” is by far the strangest and the most watchable out of all of them. In director Keith Musil‘s clip, bloodied High Places singer Mary Pearson, with an inexplicable disgusting growth on her arm, goes on a gory kill-crazy rampage to rescue Liars frontman Angus Andrew from a group of thugs. It makes no sense at all, but goddam if it isn’t fun to watch.

Cass McCombs - The Same Thing

Cass McCombs has released a new video for "The Same Thing", from his forthcoming album Humor Risk, out November 8 on Domino. His six-minute soft rock sprawler soundtracks a vintage blur on an assortment of homespun black-and-white images. It ends with an eerie graveyard scene. (Via The Fader)

Pure X - "Surface"

The ethereally dour and sultry “Surface,” one of many great dreamcasting tracks from TX outfit Pure X’s Acéphale debut LP, gets the video it deserves compliments of director and collaborator Malcolm Elijah. What this means for you is watching a clip with lights constantly peering through smoke, bodies strewn about in a partied-out stupor, and ladies in make-up breaking up the bacchanalia in order to blow powder into the already palpable haze. This video looks like Pure X sounds, which is great.
