Going to Cedar Point

 The Glasgow trio have had their hand doing less commercial sounding music before they became CHVRCHES , but hey, why not do some big choruses and catchy hooks and get signed by Virgin?
Before they were CHVRCHES there was Blue Sky Archives, Aereogramme, The Unwinding Hours and The Twilight Sad, not your typical pop band variety.



I don't think I properly pronouce Abel Tesfaye, aka the Weeknd, he landed “Kiss Land” earlier this year, you’re watching fuzzy security camera tapes, a bit NSFW but that hasn't stopped you before.



Abel's also plays(on) a hitman in Juicy J's video. Hollywood?!



The Californian Clavin sisters who are Bleached, punk out emo style with some fun colorful visuals to trip to. Welcome Summertime!



This shiz is catchy,"Wavves",which is Nathan Williams and a revolving door or other band members, used to give off such a post-acid-west-coast-surf-rock vibe, they still sound that way, but in the video it all comes off pretty gothy with the rocker hair and mannerisms. Not to mention the big guy with his mastery of swords, he could be the new Gallagher who knows. It gets even weirder when he starts chopping meat and everyone starts digging in.



Warp records "Oneohtrix Point Never"'s video for "Still Life" is old school high tech visuals. I really can't figure it all out and all but thats why they probably why they are calling this an "excerpt".



"Bloc Party" Brit band has been at it for awhile, their new video for their song "Ratchet" gets increasingly more absurd and fractally, good times.



Partially filmed on the Empire State Building, I get vertigo just watching them up there, yeah yeah.

 

Another lyric video from Sub Pop darlings "Washed Out", who sound like their name, which apparently is a good thing.



"Solar Year", duo from Montreal(now in L.A?), link up with director Allie Avital Tsypin for their new video. This beautifully shot video covers alot of ground to say the least. The band states;“The music video for “Global Girlfriend” is essentially a series of “paintings” that explore sacred spaces, death, relaxation, and ideas of paradise."



A-Trak and Armand Van Helden-duo "Duck Sauce" already have a video for their club track "It’s You” and they are NY barbers. I guess you have to live in NY to get it.I luv the neon haired dreads tho@(2:07)



Since seeing the crazy dominoes video for his "Tuna Melt" track, I've now trusted A-Trak for zany music videos, this one for "Jumbo" features alot of different perpective basketball.



Boston based shoegazi punk Young Adults challenge societal norms in this self help music video.

Moms Bday

" Ivan Grbovic made this video at such a high quality(its also slightly frightening). I imagine alot of post-production was needed in order to create the effects for Young Galaxy's video for "New Summer"
Yeep



This Montreal DJ/producer duo are touring now and play heavy improv dance music live which is in stark contrast to the tracks from Blue Hawaii's album Untogether,which are all more ethereal and soft. The actor in the video is deaf and she and director Melissa Matos evoke the feel. Matos; "sounds sometimes appear to her as colors or vibrations which is what helped shape the palette we see in the video in a really organic way. To her, the feeling comes through the colors."



Disclosure is Guy and Howard Lawrence.Young producers from Surrey. Their debut album ""Settle" was released on June 3rd and is already huge. Hopefully it is feeding them very well. They have a crazy slew of new remixes coming out from everyone, also if you missed it, I posted their video for "When A Fire Starts To Burn" last week. The video for "You & Me" is simple cute.



Sub Pop flower kaledescopes and closed caption for those who cant understand what this guy is trying to sing about.



Jenn Wasner and Jon Ehrens are Dungeonesse, and their video for “Nightlight,” from director Ariana Natale, is Wasner in her ornate bedroom as she dreams about jellyfishes in colorful soft focus.



Cambridge, resident Samuel Emerson Iliffe, a.k.a. Ill Life, has a talent for sweet stripped down big room techno and noise, This video is a perfect backdrop to the warehouse parties of the 90s that went on aLL night.Video by Rafael Bucio



"Noisey" which is attached to Vice magazine, made a video for BRTSH KNIGHTS,who are from South London?? Nobody seems to know who these guys are. Infectious "If I Was To" sounds like old UK garage back when it still was trying to emulate Chicago House. It's fun medieval film footage montage time!



Redinho has some new music and a new video to showcase his 80s Wave sound
Catch some red polygons if you like.



 xSDTRK is Yonatan Ayal from Montreal, he supposedly started with the piano at the wee age of three, and is doing all sorts of music nowadays.  Pretty video which lends itself nicely to his track "Powder"



Foxygen is L.A duo of Sam France (Olympia, WA) and Jonathan Rado (NYC) They form a washy mid sixties influenced Psychpop sound, This video is from earlier this year but seems more appropriate now that summer is about to be here.



Blludd Relations have a whack new video for their equally bizaree tune "Even Steven",  Party sausage pomp, craven funk, pudding bowl pop and jazz for logs. This is a vinyl-only release odd..



New video by Action Bronson, "Strictly My Jeeps" I guess conglomerate Noisey is paying for video costs again...A Polka dotted Riff Raff loses a chain due to Action Bronson impersonating Gary Neal on a bet.

Dippin into pop

U.K. brother duo Disclosure sample Eric Thomas, one of the top motivational speakers in the world! Chicago house inspired Garage, Rapture!



Vampire Weekend already burned a couple of Saabs in the lyric video. Now they’ve made a proper video for their song, a last supper with Santigold(did anyone see her play a vocal judge on the last episode of the Office?), and members of Chromeo etc, Primo Khan directs the filling of saxophones



Mudhoney has been with Sub Pop since they started 25 years ago and are the most resilient and most respectable grunge band from Seattle, Their new video, from their ninth studio album is a very ingenious fast paced one that sews a long sequence together in a fun way



New from Carpark records, Baltimore producer Benny Boeldt’s Adventure project. It's bit crushing sonic geekery and with a mind melting technicolor visual to boot!



Lets take a quick pee Vine break with Riff Raff



From Austin, Sleep ∞ Over (wtf is ∞ anyway?) they are back and missing are just a few band members.. Sleepy Shoegaze pop and pillowy reflections choreographed in an odd feminine witchery ritual




I only just recently seen this video, The song is ancient but the video only came out 8 months ago. Why does Alan Palomo have to look so silly rocking out?




Lil Debbie from the bay is sticking with a Trap sound just waiting to blow up



The Swed Duo CAZZETTE seems to be played everywhere right now even on the radio. Alyssa Veniece kicks some serious dude ass in the video for their song Weapon



Yep, I really like this song, well the vocals at least.I didn't ever think she could bellow out a song like this, and she does and with somehing real behind it. This video is one of the worst kinds of videos though, From the make up to the backing rock band, hair blowing, gloves?(NM its paint), leather.. With her hair back she could almost pass for Natalie Portman



Doppin Deep!!
