Videos of the Week

Another hot summer day in Atlanta, and another weekly installment of videos that have grabbed my attention this week:



New single from Atlanta's Deerhunter off the upcoming cd Halcyon Digest. Can't wait to hear the new material. Based on this song, I have high hopes for it.



Gorgeous song from Daniel Rossen's (Grizzly Bear) side project Department of Eagles. This is off a compilation of songs from the past few years.



I will admit I am not a big fan of Broken Bells, but when they put Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) in the video for this song, I had to give them a second chance.



One of my favorite singles this year and a nice live performance on Letterman. She has the second installment of her Body Talk project coming out in a couple of months.



Interesting single from Perfume Genius detailing the tragic affair between an older and younger man. The twist at the end of the song is pretty intense. I like his sound, which reminds me of Xiu Xiu but less over-the-top.



Driving song from Holy Fuck off their new cd Latin. I didn't care for the cd that much when I first listened to it, but it has been a grower.



French band from the late 80s early 90s, who didn't have a very original sound. They basically followed the goth blueprint laid out by the 4AD label, but what they lack in originality, they made up for in craft. This was a favorite cd of that time period for me and it has held up surprisingly well.



Great single off the new, criminally underrated cd from M.I.A.



Disturbing homemade video from a fan of Broken Social Scene which got approval from the band to be used as the official video.



Wonderful new single from Klaxons. Their new cd is highly anticipated.



Classic track from Japan. Slinky, sleazy groove.
