Just in time to be severely late for Valentines Day Brooklyn based Punk quartet Surfbort drops a video dedicated to spreading love, breaking people’s realities open, and taking over corporate America so they can make art, have fun, friendship, and music forever for their brief but infectious new single “Les[…]
BOOTS – Delete Delete feat. Run the Jewels and Cristin Millioti (Video)
I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
Alexis Taylor – Beautiful Thing (Video)
Warning! Hot Chip co-founder Alexis Taylor’s “Beautiful Thing” is the artsy Disco heatrock we all deserve to light up this dreary season between Winter and Spring! “Beautiful Thing” is the first single and title track from Taylor’s forthcoming fourth (I guess…his discography is weird) solo album, out April 20th on[…]
of Montreal – Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption (Video)
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
joji – Will He (Ryan Hemsworth Remix) (Video)
“Will He”, a piano-fueled Trip-Hop meets Trap slow jam from YouTube personality turned musician George “joji” Miller, was easily one of 2017’s most memorable tracks for me. So you can imagine I’m quite pleased that Canadian beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth has delivered a fresh remix that not only extends the tune’s[…]
Kali Uchis – After the Storm feat. Bootsy Collins and Tyler, The Creator
Columbian/American soulful Pop chanteuse Kali Uchis enlists the assistance of Canadian Jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, pioneering Funk bassist Bootsy Collins, and frequent collaborator Tyler, Ther Creator on her new single “After the Storm”. “After the Storm”, which comes off as a bit of an answer to the faux Bootsyisms of Childish[…]
joji – Windows (Video)
The video for joji’s “Window” may be the most ambitious video so far from what may be my favorite record of last year but I’m not sure it tonally matches the music as well as some of the other clips he’s released. It sure is weird, and a little bloody,[…]
of Montreal – Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia (Video)
Kevin Barnes continues to evolve his drag looks in the video for of Montreal’s newest two-in-one jam “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia”. “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia” is the first single from the Athens, Georgia-based Indie-Pop band’s fifteenth studio album ‘White is Relic/Irrealis Mood’ which is out March 9th on Polyvinyl Records. of Montreal
Son Lux – Slowly (Video)
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the beautiful but creepy video clip for Baroque bedroom Pop act Son Lux’s new single “Slowly”. But the music is haunting in a way that is very typical of Son Lux’s output over the years. “Slowly” is the first[…]
Chicano Batman – Freedom is Free (Video)
I post a lot of horror-inspired videos but the clip for Chicano Batman’s “Freedom is Free” is horrific in a whole different way. In seeming opposition to the upbeat, almost deceptively care-free, vibe of the song, the video depicts the LA-based foursome undergoing the torture of “enhanced interrogation methods” as[…]
Run the Jewels – Call Ticketron (Video)
It’s been about a year since rapper/producer El-P and his lyricist partner Killer Mike released their third self-titled project as Run the Jewels. My favorite track on the album was “Call Ticketron”, an almost frantically uptempo cut featuring booming 808s and throwback vocal samples familiar to anybody who watched New[…]
MGMT – When You Die (Video)
Abandoning the uncharacteristically Gothy New Wave sheen of their last record, “Little Dark Age”, MGMT go for a decidedly more subdued classic Indie-Pop sound while keeping the glum content intact on their snotty new single “When You Die”. I’m not that nice I’m mean and I’m evil Don’t call me[…]
