Bat For Lashes – “A Wall”

Bat For Lashes just released her new video for “A Wall,” a shivery song from The Haunted Man. Noel Paul, who directed Natasha Khan in Bat For Lashes’ “Laura” and “All Your Gold” videos, once again helms, as a blond-wigged and extravagantly drunk Khan enjoys the company of a dude dressed as a furry at a bleary New Years party.

A$AP Rocky – “Long Live A$AP” (Explicit)

Just before Christmas, A$AP Rocky debuted the video for “Long Live A$AP,” the hazy title track from his new album. Alongside Samantha Lecca, Rocky directed the video himself, and he plays some sort of debauched king in a desolate, enchanted palace.

Taylor Swift – “I Knew You Were Trouble”

Taylor Swift – “I Knew You Were Trouble” (Dir. Anthony Mandler)

Taylor Swift as a punk-rock sprite, screaming while a guy in a Misfits backpatch kicks the shit out of her dirtbag boyfriend? A romantic betrayal at a desert rave? The first dubstep bass-drop in pop-country history? I’m sorry, you guys, but I can’t see how anyone would want to resist this.

She & Him – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (Official Music Video)

She & Him have released a video for their rendition of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which is off their Christmas album A Very She & Him Christmas.

The video for the classic duet features an animated Zooey Deschanel doing everything in her power to keep M. Ward (who is also animated) from leaving a cabin in a wintery field. Veering away from the original, She & Him’s rendition has switched the traditional female vocal with the male’s creating a modern twist on this holiday classic. Director: Elliot Dear.

Hooray For Earth - "Never / Figure" (Official Music Video)

Way back in August, Brooklyn psych-pop band Hooray For Earth released the “Never” b/w “Figure” 7″, and now that single, which was good, seems to exist entirely as an excuse for the hallucinatory video. In the clip, a rumpled teacher finds himself on the run from theory and maybe, depending on your interpretation, at death’s door. A seven-and-a-half-minute music video can be a tough sell, but this is one that you should watch.

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire – “Fuck 1 Time” (Explicit)

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire filmed the video for “Fuck 1 Time,” a track from his The Man In The High Castle mixtape, on location in downtown Manhattan during the Hurricane Sandy blackout. This was a smart idea, since it lends a sense of urgency to the video and since the only lighting comes from a spazzing-out flashlight, police flashers, and whatever starlight manages to shine through the murk of New York smog. Shane Annas directs.

Roc Marciano - 76

On his great new album Reloaded, Roc Marciano perfects a sort of impressionistic reflection of the New York headknock music of the mid-’90s. And similarly, in the video for album standoutu “76,” director Jason Goldwatch does interesting things with bygone eras, filming grimy New York locations in 8mm film to get that old grainy B-movie ambiance.

Fat Creeps – “Daydreaming”

Music: FAT CREEPS
Video: AVI PAUL WEINSTEIN

In September, we introduced you to Fat Creeps, a Boston three-piece who match dark garage-rock guitar riffs with dissonant harmonies for some of the catchiest ’90s-inspired pop songs we’ve heard all year. This week the band has revealed a video for a new song, “Daydreaming,” set to appear on a 12″ split with ZEBU! coming out in early 2013 on one of New England’s best record labels, Feeding Tube Records of Northampton, MA. The track is their tightest yet, with guitarist Gracie Jackson and bassist Mariam Saleh’s girl-gang vocals backed up by Jim Leonard’s heavy drumming. The video, shot by Avi Paul Weinstein, finds the trio running around their hometown, Lynn, MA, playing in the Lynnway Mart, Kiley Park, and Mariam’s bedroom.

Major Lazer - Jah No Partial ft. Flux Pavilion (official Video)

Major Lazer’s recent single “Jah No Partial,” a collaboration with EDM dude Flux Pavilion, is a weird but exhilarating collision between arena-dubstep and old-school reggae. And its brand-new video shows Diplo and friends on the road, bringing their ridiculously fun live show to festivals across the world. (Belgium, we learn, goes off.) Water cannons blast, dancers do impossibly funky shit, Diplo gleefully bites Wayne Coyne’s crowd-walking bubble, and the whole thing is a lot of fun.

Peaking Lights - "Beautiful Dub" (Official Video)

Earlier this month, Wisconsin production duo Peaking Lights released Lucifer In Dub, an album of dubbed-out versions of tracks from their already-trippy 2012 LP Lucifer. “Beautiful Son,” the married duo’s absolutely beautiful song for their infant, was a highlight of Lucifer, and now there’s a video for the song’s dub version. Director Mike Seely sets the song to old surfing footage, making it slightly more psychedelic. The end result is oddly comforting.
