Videos of the Week

Another week has flown by, leaving me with 21 days left until Coachella. Here are the latest videos that have been making me do my happy dance:



Dense and dramatic pop from The Morning Benders. Love the song and the video is a perfect companion.



Apparently my bf Kurt is going to leave me for the gay version of The Situation.



Gorgeously shot video for a two-step track from Berlin producer Siriusmo. The video reminds me of Peter Greenaway's Prospero.



The Chase and Status album has really been growing on me. This is a wonderful collaboration with CeeLo.


Baths cover LCD Soundsystem

Nice cover of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" from Baths.



The new album from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart is a lot different from their debut. I am not completely sold on it yet, but it is definitely growing on me. This song especially.



These satirical videos are hysterical.



First single from the new Friendly Fires album is really growing on me.



Although I have seen Crystal Castles before, I will likely try to catch them again. And I will definitely seek out HEALTH. Their latest album has been playing on my iPod a lot.



Gorgeously sad video for the first single from TV On The Radio's new album.



Listening to Two Door Cinema Club always puts me in a good mood.



Although their albums don't do much for me, I do enjoy this song from Malachai. The video is very paranoid and trippy.



Brilliantly edited video from Stanton Warriors.



Another great track from the Chase and Status album.



Deep wubz from another Coachella act.



While this is sort of DJ Shadow-lite, I do like the chilled out sound.

Siriusmo: "Signal"

I will be reviewing Berlin producer Siriusmo's debut full-length Mosaik next week. It is a really eclectic and varied set of music drawing on a lot of different styles/genres. The first video from the album is for the two-step track "Signal." The song is a highlight of the album, and the video is gorgeously shot.

Siriusmo: "Nights Off" and "Bad Idea"

Coming soon will be my review of Siriusmo's album Mosaik. It is a genre-bending tour de force that breathlessly covers a variety of styles, putting his own inimitable stamp on each of them.

Here are two samples from the album:

"Nights Off" teeters between deep house, dance punk, and synth pop; building slowly and methodically into a gorgeous storm:



"Bad Idea" is hard hitting ghettotech: featuring skittering beats, deep wubz, and a sinister rap:



Prepare for my raves later.
