Videos of the Week

Been a long, stressful week. Glad it is Friday; I have the new Wild Beasts' album Smother on my iPod, and a roundup of videos I enjoyed this week:

WILD BEASTS // ALBATROSS from dave ma on Vimeo.

Speaking of Wild Beasts, this is the first single and video from their new album, and it is a beautiful song with an equally striking video.

Austra The Beat & The Pulse from The Glitoris on Vimeo.

Sort of NSFW clip from Toronto electronic artist Austra. I'm really digging the electro-goth vibe of this single.

Julianna Barwick - Envelop from Asthmatic Kitty on Vimeo.

Although I felt Juliana Barwick's album was a bit too insubstantial for me, the songs come alive when paired with visuals. This strange, experiemental VHS video really highlights the ethereal nature of Barwick's work.

The Coathangers - Hurricane (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HD) from Studio 8 on Vimeo.

Gritty clip from the Atlanta based punk-poppers The Coathangers. Sort of feels like a sleazier Sucker Punch, only much much better.



Salem take Britney Spears' single "Til The World Ends" and drag it out to almost unlistenable lengths. Of course, I love it. Video is kinda sorta NSFW.



I am definitely on an Austra kick. Here is another video from their upcoming album.

Manchester Orchestra - "Simple Math" from DANIELS on Vimeo.

Although I am not a huge fan of Manchester Orchestra's music (it's a little too Coldplay meets Elbow wishy washy), this video is really spectacular. As the driver of a car gets in an accident and scenes from his life pass before his eyes.



Crying over spilt milk, literally. Very funny video from Denmark's Whomadewho.



The track itself is just decent, although the addition of vocals from my beloved Roisin Murphy makes the track much more so. Strange video, but I like it.
