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[…]

joji – Slow Dancing in the Dark (Video)
I don’t want to spoil the twist in the breathtaking video for George “joji” Miller’s new single “Slow Dancing in the Dark” but just let me say it’s a sublime surprise that falls right in line with the dark and bloody but whimsically beautiful imagery that has become a hallmark[…]
Corbin – Hunker Down (Video)
A couple of weeks ago I posted on Facebook and Twitter that ‘Mourn’, the new album from Minnesota based R&B crooner Corbin, was “the Gothest thing out right now”. I still stand by that assessment. And the first video from the album, “Hunker Down”, with it’s allusions to loneliness, alienation,[…]
Lil Uzi Vert – XO Tour Llif3 (Video)
I’m not the biggest fan of Philly rapper Lil Uzi Vert or his music. Despite that fact I have watched some of his videos and thought “Huh, this kid is kind of a weirdo” and then wondered why his music wasn’t as weird as his visuals and persona seemed to[…]
Big Boi – Kill Jill feat. Killer Mike and Jeezy (Video)
Studded bondage masks and a throne made of human skulls are two things I never would have expected to see in a video from a former OutKast member. But that’s exactly what you’ll see, in addition to several voluptuous human posteriors, in the video for “Kill Jill”, the new Hatsune[…]
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[…]
Desiigner – Zombie Walk feat. King Savage (Video)
I’m not sure how I missed this much too long horror-themed clip for Brooklyn rapper Desiigner’s “Zombie Walk” featuring King Savage with the assist when he uploaded it on Halloween. “Zombie Walk” is from Desiigner’s debut mixtape ‘New English’, out now on Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint via Def Jam[…]
Princess Nokia – Brujas (Video)
Alt-Rap sensation Princess Nokia pays decidedly braggadocios reverence to the traditions of witchcraft from across the African diaspora over downtempo bassy Trap beats on “Brujas”. “Brujas” is from the young Harlemite’s recent ‘1992’ mixtape. Princess Nokia
TINASHE – Nightride (Video)
After a detour into bubbly Rhythm & Quad inspired Pop on “Superlove” Tinashe is back on her introspective psychedelic Trap & B shit with her new record “Nightride”. It’s bass-heavy, more than a little weird, and the video features some of the warped but sexy imagery that have become a[…]
Bunny Michael – 888 (Video)
Art-Rap high-priestess Bunny Michael is back from her spoken word excursion as Khum Princess. She’s dropping that real, raw, bass heavy bruja shit on her new single “888”. And it comes complete with an accompanying video that finds her and her crew representing for new millennia Shamanic sex magick like[…]
Jamie xx – Gosh (Video)
No, it’s not the newest single from Brother Ali…But it is some sort of albino dystopia being depicted in the Romain Gavras directed video clip for “Gosh”, the basss-droppin’-est track from Jamie xx’s ‘In Colour’ LP! ‘In Colour’, the second LP from the DJ, producer, and xx bandmember, has been[…]
LORN – ANVIL (Video)
Midwestern purveyor of Wonky Beats LORN tones down the bass and turns up the chilly atmospheric sci-fi vibes on the soundtrack worthy instrumental “ANVIL”. He enlists directors Antoine Caëcke & Hélène Jeudy (a.k.a. Geriko) and animators Anthony Lejeune & Manddy Wyckens for the sort of ‘Heavy Metal’ by way of[…]
