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[…]

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[…]
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.[…]
Mai Lan – Vampire (Video)
Okay, I can admit to having a bit of a blood fetish, so “Vampire” the brand new blood soaked video clip from Franco-Vietnamese singer and fashion designer Mai Lan is right up my alley. The track from the M83 collaborator’s newest single is a bouncy Caribbean influenced Electo-Pop cut with[…]

After a brief detour into the world of Hip-Hop on their Big Grams project with rapper Big Boi of OutKast co-ed Electropop duo Phantogram is back with a booming but buzzy new single “You Don’t Get Me High Anymore”. As you might expect, a sci-fi, body-horror, and BDSM-inspired video for[…]

Neon Indian – Slumlord Rising (Video)
Drawing inspiration from stylish ’80s drug/crime dramas, schlocky Golan-Globus-style cinema, video games, and the like, Texas-based Electro outfit Neon Indian rush the discotheque in their mini-movie “Slumlord Rising”. Somehow I missed out on this video as well as ‘Vega Intl. Night School’, the album “Slumlord” was taken from, when they[…]
Vinnie Laduce – Girl (Video)
With it’s gritty beats, wonky electronics, and vocoded vocals, “Girl”, from Aussie producer Vinnie Laduce, sounds kinda like Black Moth Super Rainbow if they tried making R&B music. Right now “Girl” is a single without an album, but it’s on the Soundcloud, the Bandcamp, and all the usual digital distribution[…]
Pictureplane – Technomancer (Video)
Witch House grandaddy Pictureplane goes full on old-school Electro-Goth, like Arthur Baker producing for New Order back in the day, on the title track from his brand new LP for the anticon. label. The self-directed video, which features additional footage shot by Erez Avizzar and Oliver Rivard, was shot at[…]
