May is over already?? Not Quite

This ridiculous video is one of a kind, none better than Diplo to make this incredibly over the top New York silly faux pas art film trying to be ironic and artsy but ends up looking just vainly uninspired and hypocritical of itself.
Anyhow, thats how it made me feel but I kinda like it too a little..
    
Newb LA singer/songwriter BANKS is making good waves. Latest single written by Banks ‘Warm Water’ has been blessed with the production of  T.E.E.D (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs)

Originally from Portland, Johnny Jewel and Ida No's Glass Candy is back with some new visuals, Video features footage of the group recording the song in their Montreal studio, shot by Martin D'Argensio.
I can't believe it this guy is still doing vinyl releases!

So bizarre Cold Cave go full acid trip collage in their video for “Black Boots.” Directed by Slava Tsukerman, who is known for his 1980s cult film Liquid Sky, a film recognized for heavily influencing the electroclash scene in the early 2000s. The plot of Liquid Sky revolves around a  nightclub, BUT OH NEVERMIND I GUESS THIS IS SOOO GOTH ITS NOW PRIVATE ALL THE SUDDEN. man that was a cool video.. I'll try to track it down, strange backdrops, lighting and costumes I remember and that guys face.. now the link completely disappeared..
ANYWAYS..

Simian Mobile Disco and Bicep link up for “Sacrifice.”rolling vid of greyscale animation, helixes moving along to the beat.

SF artist Scott Hansen who goes by the name ISO50 when he works on his photo and design. As a musician, he is Tycho, the producer of lovely trippy pastel ambient music. This is the video for his new track, "Ascension," directed by Charles Bergquist.

The Montreal band Young Galaxy. Their last video“Pretty Boy” video was a weird as fuck love story about two people in unbelievably creepy masks. And their new all-CGI clip for “Fall For You” shows us nice alternate universe science experiments.

Secret Circuit is Eddie Ruscha, self-described as Cosmic Jam-Jazz with hints of Tropical Psychedelics
He gives along with Diego Herrera (Suzanne Kraft) they collaborated on this piece, with drawings by Eddie brought to life by Diego with some very trippy animation.

Brooklyn’s People Get Ready self-titled debut “Zelda Maria”. The title track has an experimental visual, heavy on image-manipulation. The dancing was choreographed by Tere O’Conor, while Steve Reker worked with video artist Ty Flowers to edit the images.

Holy Ghost! duo Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel released a new song and video, “Dumb Disco Ideas.” The video contains a single high-speed shot taken overnight on a Brooklyn rooftop and a modest light show to go along with it, this is all tougher than it looks: The lights had to have been programmed to very slow speeds so once everything is sped up to show the night passing into day, it locks into sync perfectly with the music, amazingly eight minutes.

Catchy synth-rock jam from the L.A. band Hands. New video“Brave Motion,” a mini-action movie in trippily animated form. Director Johnny Woods weaves a story of a young woman on the run from nefarious forces, watch her thrilling if confounding escape

And don't let me forget to remind you all to check out my latest Limerence mix, avant-garde Traptro or something.. Please have a listen.

It's May MMXIII


Once known as Oregon Bike Trails,Cayucas(named after a Californian beach town) is a fun surfy indie jam band, a kinda mix of sound between Beck and Vampire Weekend, catchy and uplifting.
p.s. I luf left handed bass players.

Cayucas - High School Lover

 

My favorite suburban hoodrat Lil Debbie gets a group of  gals with similar shape and skin tone for her crew of back up dancers? Anyway I enjoy the Irony and the Trap style beats.

Lil Debbie - RATCHETS -

CEREBRAL VORTEX X COBRA KRAMES - ZIPLOXXX



Well nobody knows who this U guy/girl is but the crackly nostalga sound gives  me warm memories of when we actually danced all night to this kind of house and somtimes scratchy old techno records.

MMAKEU01 - U - EAH

  

From Sydney, brothers Cosmo's Midnight and fellow Aussie  Nicole Millar deliver some deep bassy chillwave  and a video which seems to indicate letting go.

Cosmo's Midnight - Phantasm feat. Nicole Millar



Secretly Canadian has some cool indie finds on their label( Cayucas to name one), at just over 2 minutes its my kind of vocal jingle(great overdubs)
and the cgi used in the video is simple, creative and unique.

Nightlands - "I Fell In Love With A Feeling"



Louisa Rose Allen(who is Foxes) Is back since her underground hit "Youth" The video starts with a clip from 90s classic shit film “Drop Dead Fred”  starring some Brit and my childhood crush Pheobe Cates, alluding to the validity of fairy tale endings,and I appreciated all the clumsy silly looking 80's models.

FOXES 'Beauty Queen'



I didn't realize there was a video to this song, I was playing the White Arrows remix a lot last year, what a sweet sad song and video.

Active Child - Johnny Belinda Official Video



 DIANA(yep all caps not my call)  foursome hail from Toronto, scuzzy lush dream pop in infrared and  ultraviolet.

DIANA - "Born Again"

 

London recloose artist Twigs and only her 5th release and another visually confounding video.

Twigs - How's That

 
From the depths of L.A. Ken Rangkuty is just a wizard in front of a keyboard.
"Where I Belong” is the second video to be taken from Keenhouse‘s second album, “Four Dreams“.

Keenhouse - Where I Belong



Even though I like NOMS original version the best, it doesn't have a video sooo.. Beautiful shots of connections being made in nature, so purty.

Connection - NOMS feat. Padro (Moduloktopus reLove Remix)

 

Detroit-bred crooner JMSN and Ta-ku from down under team up for a sexy cut.

Ta-ku - Make It Last feat.JMSN

 

Tame Impala also from Perth, Australia have a great late 60's esque vibe going on, self descibed as hypno-groove melodic rock, and as soon as you think the video is a cheap knockoff of Dustin Hoffman's famous role, it takes you on a a trip to eternity or something..

Tame Impala - MindMischief

 

Also From Tame Impala from november of last year, so where is the Lysergic diethylamide?



Prrr..

 ☠DEAD❤ISLAND☠ - kitty

 

From Manchester cool tunage and vide, minimal D&B riddim and rapid fire vowels for super-dextrous gynoids and mandroids.

Dub Phizix Skittles - I'm A Creator



Can't help but post you all the time Jodi.. "Why all the lies Franco?" For revenge RiFF RAFF got  in an episode of One Life to Live. The MC plays a Miami art dealer called Jamie Franko. Riff Raff's gag goes deeper than just his character's name: the real Franco is notorious for a recurring guest role on another US soap, General Hospital. and p.s Franco was horrible as OZ jus sayin
