I’ll be upfront here. Posting this video is mostly an excuse to get you to listen to “You Got Me Wonderin’ Now,” Parquet Courts’ 100% rad new single. It comes from Tally All the Things That You Broke, their forthcoming EP, which you can stream here, and it is smart and scrappy and catchy and the best […]
Here’s “Star Crawl,” the first single and video from Crystal Stilts forthcoming Nature Noir. The track is pleasantly heavy-lidded and reverby, with just a hint of looming menace, and the video’s slow pans and glitched-out colors only heighten the atmosphere. It’s directed by Daniel Fetherston, and it’s got beaches, mountains, and yes, psychedelic snails. […]
When we spoke to veteran hip-hop blogger Byron Crawford last week, one of the things we touched upon was his love for NYC rappers Action Bronson and Meyhem Lauren. Now, here’s a video featuring that indomitable duo along with virtuosic producer Harry Fraud and Brooklyn hardhead Ag Da Coroner. As marionettes. It’s great. […]
Here’s the clip for “Everybody’s Something,” in my book the best cut from Chance the Rapper’s excellent Acid Rap mixtape (and the subject of a Sample Wars not long ago). The Austin Vesely-directed video buts Chance in some Carl Sagan-style cosmos, overlaid with some nice hi-fi lo-fi footage that impressionistically outlines the song’s lyrics about doubt, affirmation, […]
My apologies–that headline should read “Nick Offerman Gets Drunk and Pees on Everything,” but I know a thing or two about the internet and hashtags, and trending topics and that kind of stuff. Plus, Offerman’s offscreen persona seems Swanson-like enough that it’s all that misleading. I don’t know much about this band FIDLAR–and maybe you […]
There are a few other musicians in this new video for “36” Chain,” by the excellent El-P/Killer Mike duo Run The Jewels. See if you can spot them all! I’ll give you a hint: that first guy, in the all white outfit, is Andrew WK. See, it’s easy! This song rules. […]
Here’s the new video for Hot Sugar’s “Leverage,” which finds the producer chilling in Coney Island along with Kool A.D., Fat Tony, Lakutis, and Nasty Nigel of World’s Fair. Judging by the snow still on the ground and the general destruction all around, the clip looks like it was shot sometime last winter, when Coney […]
Put on a bucket hat, do the cooking dance, add some net art aesthetics and #90sKid pop cultural references, and you’ve got yourself a pretty banging rap video circa 2013. Technically, Yung Lean is from Sweden, but really, he’s a child of the internet, and as such, all of the above make appearances in “Hurt,” his […]
“No Bueno,” Angel Haze’s NSFW doozy of a new video, features a whole cast of characters lip synching or actually rapping and signing along to Angel’s verses–fat people, thin people, black people, white people, young tattooed punks, and old-timey country-and-western types. It’s great. Angel Haze is a very good rapper. And yes, as you noticed when […]
See how many of your favorite indie musicians you can spot in the video for Vampire Weekend’s “Diane Young.” Look, there’s Chromeo, picking a fight with Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Thomson from across the dinner table! And Santigold playing with sparklers! And, in the video’s greatest moment, Despot smokes a positively tremendous amount of weed […]
