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[…]
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.[…]
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[…]
Sevdaliza – Human (Video)
‘the basic human need to be watched was once satisfied by god.’ So says Iranian born/Rotterdam based singer, songwriter, and visual artist Sevdaliza about the strikingly sensuous and slightly spooky visuals she’s provided to go with the slinky sonics of her single “Human”. “Human” is available now from the digital[…]
Monday Magick: The Pretenders – Brass in Pocket (I’m Special) (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick is gonna be one of my patented re-interpretations of a seemingly innocuous and unmagickal song utilizing magickal thinking. The song in question is Alt-Pop chestnut “Brass in Pocket (I’m Special)” by British Rock outfit The Pretenders featuring Ohio-born songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Chrissie Hynde. Released in[…]
Lance Skiiwalker – Lover’s Lane (Video)
Top Dawg Entertainment’s resident weirdo crooner Lance Skiiwalker continues to make what can only be described as “R&B for creeps” with his newest single and video “Lover’s Lane”. “Lover’s Lane” is from Skiiwalker’s debut release ‘Introverted Intuition’, which is out on all the usual digital platform as of this morning.[…]
