In the video for “Ingenue,” from the Thom Yorke side project Atoms For Piece, our hero dons a snazzy three-piece suit and dances to his jittery heart’s content for four minutes alongside dancer Fukiko Takase. Garth Jennings, director of Son of Rambow and clips for countless other great musicians, just made the perfect Thom Yorke video. […]
This is Screaming Females’ new video for their song “Poison Arrow” off of the EP Chalk Tape. Directed by Kate Sweeney, the video follows a cross-dressing art collective who evidently own at art contests. However, at the upcoming art contest, there’s a newcomer who’s all the rage, so the trio of artists (played by New […]
I’m going to make this quick. ANIMAL loves OKFocus for the cool shit they do. They just did some really cool shit. Here’s a fully interactive video for Tanlines’s “Not The Same”. It’s Photoshop-like interface allows you to select and “turn off” or “turn on” various instrumental and voice parts of the song and background “layers” you can toggle […]
Sure that’s technically the video for Remy Banks and Bodega Bamz’s infectious new single “GLDCHN,” but the real star of the show is a fictional character: Greg Wilcockson, the portly fellow above. The concept of the video is that Wilcockson is a rap addict, for whom hip-hop is what spinach is to Popeye: a shot to […]
Pennsylvania sludgy punks and ANIMAL favorites Pissed Jeans’ latest video for “Bathroom Laughter” is a giddily shit-kicking send-up of late night paid programming. Watch as a hapless host shilling a confectionery oven cut herself and go on a bloody rampage as various band members pop up in cameo roles. […]
Lyrically, Animal Collective’s “Applesauce” is a song about the simple sensory pleasures of eating a good fruit, and possibly the fear of death and environmental collapse that comes with a good fruit’s decay. Sonically, it’s complete overload, taking the more-is-more approach of 2007’s Strawberry Jam to its logical conclusion–all polyrhythmic drumming, burbling synthesizers, and frantically melodic vocals. Enter […]
On Thursday, a low-quality mp3 of the 10-minute first single from the Knife’s first album in seven years leaked onto the internet. Later that day, it was pulled down. The next day, the track’s epic, slightly NSFW music video popped up on a Swedish streaming site. Later that day, it was pulled down. If you, like […]
Happy Friday! Mykki Blanco dropped the video for Cosmic Angel highlight “Kingpinning” today. It’s a romp through runways, bedrooms, and darkened New York City streets, and it’s fucking awesome. What I like most about the video is that it highlights both sides of the rapper’s persona–the gothy, threatening “Join My Militia” Mykki, and the shade-throwing, take-the-club-over “Wavy” […]
As far as I can tell, the Guilford Avenue Bridge, a multicolored Baltimore landmark, does not appear in the video for Dan Deacon’s instrumental track of the same name–but just about everything else in America does. Director Alan Resnick takes us on a time-lapsed journey across the country with Deacon, his bus, and his band […]
In his latest video, for no-nonsense M.I.C. Tyson cut “Genesis of the Omega,” Sean Price dons lumberjack gear, takes to the woods, and chops shit up while an innocent-looking, hogtied girl fearfully looks on. P never actually does the deadly deed, but the grindhouse vibe lends the video a violently grimy feel. […]
