I’ve featured the beautifully creepy visual stylings of producer/singer Joji a few times in this space over the last year or two. But now it looks like he’s infected a collaborator, San Jose bred Bass music DJ/producer Getter, with his flair for the dark and macabre when it comes to[…]

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[…]

MGMT – Little Dark Age (Video)
After taking a short break from recording, Psychedelic Pop band MGMT is back. And they’ve apparently traded their new age Psychtronica sound and hipster-cum-hippie image in for dark Electro-Funk grooves and Goth style on their new single “Little Dark Age”. The video sports some creepy, seemingly Giallo and Hammer Horror[…]
De La Soul – Drawn feat. Little Dragon (Video)
When veteran Hip-Hop trio De La Soul dropped their ninth full length album ‘and the Anonymous Nobody… ‘ last Summer I wasn’t trying to hear it. It was just too much of a departure from the sampladelic production aesthetic that put them on the map for me me and I[…]
Lusine – Just a Cloud feat. Vilja Larjosto (Video)
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’,[…]
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[…]
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.[…]
