Thurz – “Colors” (video)

August 30th, 2012

Thurz’s latest release from last year’s L.A. Riot is a track called “Colors” (or “Colours,” for those of us who live north of the 49th parallel). As the title would suggest, the video is fairly bright and colourful. It doesn’t quite reach Lil’ Wayne territory, but it does feature some people nonsensically floating in mid-air [...]

The Presets – Ghosts (video)

August 30th, 2012

The Presets go for an epic vibe in their video for “Ghosts.” The Aussie electro group’s anthemic track features black and white clips of synchronized divers. To further emphasize the incredible intricacy of the movements and the superb athleticism of these swimmers, we get to watch the dives in slow motion. The result is a [...]

Yeasayer – “Longevity” (video)

August 29th, 2012

“Longevity”, the first single from Yeasayer’s recently released Fragrant World, takes place in a converted church. The blessed recording studio shines its holy light on Chris Keating, causing him to age rapidly. Oddly grotesque seems to be the theme of the day, after The Luyas released their strange milk spew video, Yeasayer take decomposition a [...]

The Luyas – “Fifty Fifty” (video)

August 29th, 2012

Montreal’s The Luyas will soon be releasing their third record, Animator. Their video for “Fifty Fifty” is oddly grotesque, explaining why your mother always told you not to blow bubbles in your milk…it’s just gross.
