Watch a public transportation rider experience initiatory illumination via a sort of music-fueled hallucinatory singularity in the new clip for IDM beatmaker Lusine’s “Just a Cloud”. The downtempo House jam featuring glitchy micro-edited vocals from Vilja Larjosto is from the Seattle-based producer’s ‘Sensorimotor’ LP which is out now via Ghostly[…]

Katy Perry – Bon Appétit feat. Migos (Video)
Earlier today I got an excited instant message from a friend asking if I’d seen the new Katy Perry video. I had not. The message came from an individual with whom I’d once engaged in fantasy sex-play involving simulated murder, necrophilia, and anthropophagy. It read, simply, “cannibalism”. The video, for[…]
Gorillaz – Saturnz Barz (Spirit House) (Video)
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz is back with a 360-degree interactive video, replete with Lovecraftian tentacle monsters, for their new Caribbean-spiced auto-tune Electro-Dancehall-Pop tune “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)”. “Saturnz Barz”, which features vocals from Popcaan, is the first single from the animated group’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Humanz’,[…]
SoKo – Sweet Sound of Ignorance (Video)
This is SO me right now. These adorably depressing “rainbow Goth Girl” visuals are for “Sweet Sound of Ignorance”, the languid new single from French Emo girl chanteuse Stéphanie “SoKo” Sokolinski. “Sweet Sound of Ignorance” is the first new music SoKo has released since her most recent album ‘My Dreams[…]
Vitalic – Waiting for the Stars feat. David Shaw and The Beat (Video)
Considering Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic proclamation that “every man and every woman is a star in 1904’s ‘Liber AL vel Legis’ and the importance of “starry wisdom” and “the stars” being “right” in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos it kinda makes sense I’d be feeling French Electro/Techno guy Vitalic’s “Waiting for the[…]
Tei Shi – How Far (Video)
Peep the surprisingly dark and horrific new video clip for my hands down favorite song at the moment, Argentine popstress Tei Shi’s sexily sadomasochistic slow-flow Electro-Funk jam “How Far”. “How Far” is from her forthcoming LP ‘Crawl Space’ which is set to hit retailers on March 31st via Downtown/Interscope. Tei[…]
Joe Goddard – Home (Video)
Whoa! Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard continues to crank out the solo jams, and he comes through big time with “Home”, which features Daniel Wilson and a healthy sampling of a “Dusty Grooves” classic by Brainstorm. Throw in some sweet animations by Pete Fowler of Super Furry Animals fame and you’ve[…]
Little Dragon – Sweet (Video)
A video featuring a giant space structure and a super sci-fi flavored alien witch-cult for a new millennium take on early ’90s House music is exactly the sort of weirdness I needed from Swedish Synth-Funk outfit Little Dragon right about now. “Safe” is from Little Dragon’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Season[…]
Girlpool – 123 (Video)
Los Angeles-based Folk Punk duo Girlpool pair slime-coated horror-inspired imagery with romantic Shoegazey baroque balladry in the video clip for their song “123”. “123” is from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Powerplant’ which is due out May 12th on Anti- Records. Girlpool
Xiu Xiu – Wondering (Video)
“Wandering”, the newest video clip from California-bred Alternative darling Jamie Stewart’s Xiu Xiu, couples bizarrely surreal visuals with dramatically Goth-y Industrial-influenced Synthpop. It’s from the band’s forthcoming tenth studio album ‘Forget’, which is out February 24th on Polyvinyl Records. I’ve heard it, and liked a lot of what I heard.[…]
Monday Magick: Gil Evans – Priestess (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick entry, like many before it, is inspired by events that are currently occurring in my life. Recently, lacking a magickal partner and feeling as if I’m not practicing my magick to its fullest potential, I was struck by the desire to convert part of my home[…]
Monday Magick: Echo & the Bunnymen – The Killing Moon (Video)
With today’s post Monday Magick is officially back to semi-regularity! I am still feeling a little unsteady on my feet at this point. So despite last week’s rather hardcore vivisection of a seemingly innocuous entry I have every intention of taking it easy this week. I’m not gonna be going[…]
