February 8th, 2012

Kindness is all set to drop a debut album via Female Energy on March 19th. The new video, shot by the band’s Adam Bainbridge appears to be a budget, cable access video shoot, but turns out to be the work of a French auteur who takes himself a little too seriously. It’s kind of a [...]

St. Vincent “Cheerleader” (Video)

February 7th, 2012

Annie Clark has always looked a little delicate, but in the new St. Vincent video for “Cheerleader,” she is extremely fragile. Clark plays a giant, living piece of art on display in a gallery who literally begins to crack when she tries to get away.
