Friday again! Yay! Here are the videos that smacked my bitch up:
The Twilight Sad were getting in a rut after two albums of brilliant shoegaze. I wasn't sure I could stick with them with a third album of the same old same old. Witness this brilliant transformation, moving away from a guitar focus to icy synth squalls, they reinvent themselves admirably. This video is the perfect accompaniment to the track, a bizarre video clerk hosts parties with dead people, tying their arms and legs with string, manipulating them like marionettes. Very disturbing.
The first official single/video from the upcoming sophomore album from Sleigh Bells. The video is a fun lark, but the song smacks a little too much of been there done that. I haven't been blown away by the new songs I have heard so far. I am hoping that the album as a whole wins me over.
Florence still has one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard, however, her latest album just left me underwhelmed. This is a typically classy live performance of her new single.
Porcelain Raft (aka Mauro Remiddi) has perfected his perfect blend of dream pop/chillwave. This is one of the highlights from his debut album Strange Weekend. Remiddi sort of reminds me of a bearish Bryan Ferry/Martin Fry.
Beautiful animated video from Kate Bush.
NSFW clip from Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky, which subverts all the usual rap video cliches. Love the production on this track from Clams Casino.
Oskar the blind cat, is so damn cute. I am so glad he has some amazing owners who have taken really good care of him.
