Kirin J Callinan’s video for “Embracism” by Cara Stricker might be too much for you. Might be a little too much lanky wet man for you, naked for the occasional strategically placed guitar and FUCK YEAH DATAMOSH. What him glitch himself out. Shout out datamosh music video pioneer Yung Jake. Shout out those cracy sci-fi theatre club kids […]

“Is anyone else drinking at work? Have your intern pour you some SLAVA, and get ready to have your bank accounts emptied, your identity stolen, and your Twitter unverified, because this video is going to leave you #HACKED.” What.

And now, please enjoy this new music video for “Bad Motherfuckers” by Biting Elbows, directed by Russian filmmakers Ilya Naishuller and Sergey Valyaev. It’s POV. It’s crazy. Or, you are opposed to super crazy video-game style but IRL-looking violence, throat gutting and various other bang-bang-bang related injuries because you’re not desensitized by video games/your time in the […]

This isn’t what one might expect from the teen-gaze aesthetic of Beach House’s usual videos, especially following the recent release of their gorgeous, ethereal short film Forever Still, but… holy shit. Seemingly resulting from a miraculous alignment of the cosmos, Beach House’s just-released music video for their 2012 song Wishes was directed by Eric Wareheim […]

So, David Bowie and Tilda Swinton aren’t the same person after all, because here they are in his new video for “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” and it’s glorious. It speaks so much to the average man, you know, the aging rockstar haunted by visions of his sparkling glory and the manic spirits of stylized doppelgängers […]

Balaclavas are the shit right now. From imprisoned Russian Pussy Riot activists to the catwalk to Spring Breakers and now, to this new music video for Diplo’s “Butter’s Theme” (ft. Gent & Jawns) directed by Reuben Dangoor. But mostly, from the imprisoned Russian Pussy Riot activists. Hey, I wouldn’t push the Pussy Riot connection if that commendable butt up there wasn’t decorated with […]
