Videos of the Week

Praise Jebus it is Friday and we have a three-day weekend upon us. Here are a few of the videos I was hyped about for the week.



I loved Grimes' last album, and this is a single off her split EP Darkbloom with d’Eon. I like the Bjorkian/Fever Ray feel of the video.



Fractured art-funkers Gang Gang Dance's new album is still a puzzle to me. I can't decide if I love it or hate it. I do like single "Mindkilla" though and this is video from a live session.



Gauzy clip from the new Ravonettes album. Half of the album is great, but the other half puts me to sleep.



My favorite new band, Denmark's Iceage. Brings back great memories of early Wire and Joy Division.



Gorgeous new song from Bon Iver.





Radiohead released two songs from the King of Limbs sessions that didn't make it onto the finished album. Strange, because these two songs are really great. I actually made my own version of the album with these tracks on it, and it makes the album far more cohesive.



I like Death Cab For Cutie, but am not a diehard fan. But from what I have heard from the new album, I am kind of impressed. I love how this song starts so simply and just builds and builds.



And I love the first single and video.



As most people know, I am completely obsessed with Wild Beasts. Their new album Smother is the current front-runner for album of the year. This is a beautiful acoustic trio of songs with just Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming (in the hat). This video really highlights how gorgeous both of their voices are.
