VIDEO: Gold Class - Kids On Fire

Had I known last year at this time, what I know now, I would have known that “It’s You”, the September 4th, 2015 released album by Gold Class from Melbourne, Australia would become one of my favorite albums ever. Hands down. And -not surprisingly- Gold Class back up their

VIDEO: Hannah Peel - All That Matters

“All That Matters” was already a Song Pick, but the video is worth another post. Watch Hannah Peel slowly fading into a dream world while she is singing the song. Some videos try to shock you, some are simply beautiful. I prefer the latter.

NEW VIDEO: Whyte Lytes - Go Get It [Premiere]

“Go Get It” by U.K. indie-rockers Whyte Lytes, is a catchy guitar driven song, with an edgy vibe that got me after the first listen – roughly three months ago. Much to my chagrin, I forgot about it again, surrounded by a constant flow of new music. The more I

NEW VIDEO: Dan Owen - Made To Love You

Singer/songwriter Dan Owen, hailing from Shrewsbury located somewhere between Birmingham and Liverpool in England, released a powerful video to his already amazing single “Made to Love You”. What makes the video so compelling, is its strong, thought-provoking narrative. In contrary to some other videos who take over with their

VIDEO: EMOTIONAL - Living in XTC

There is something simply irresistible about a sparsely instrumented track, with hypnotic vocals, and repetitive lyrics which all sounds unassuming on the surface but “Living in XTC” is too edgy and at the same time highly alluring to be easily dismissed. “Living in XTC” is the latest single by experimental

VIDEO: New Portals - Cage

What looks like a late night business transaction at first ends in a special, ephemeral moment in every day city life. The video “Cage” is directed by Emily McDonald for the Belfast electronic duo New Portals.

VIDEO: Magik*Magik - Circuitry

Minna Choi aka Magik*Magik is conducting an invisible orchestra to play a soundtrack for her video “Circuitry”: We see a city – San Francisco, I assume – to morph from abstract black and white graphics into reality. Her debut album is expected for October 14.

Music

VIDEO: Yello - Limbo

Swiss duo Yello were pioneers of electronic music in the 80s and back then they held the spot of my favorite band for quite some time. Usually I would not expect to feel the old magic with a new release several decades later, so I’m surprised how good is

VIDEO: Lara Snow - Sometimes it's enough

Lara, singer of the Berlin via Tel Aviv electro-pop duo Lara Snow is led by a friend to a mysterious abandoned building (which I suspect has not been approved for filming) for a day of thrill and fun. Things don’t seem to be like they appear and there are

VIDEO: Annabel Allum - Tricks

In “Tricks” you see singer and guitarist Annabel Allum plays with soil, chalk, dust and sand, which makes the video feel as dry as the distorted guitar that dominates this track.

VIDEO: Ella On The Run - Walk Away

The visuals to “Walk Away” are as pleasing and beautiful as the song itself. Ella On The Run is singing with a spitting image of herself, with a whirling kaleidoscope, creating a mesmerizing, sensual effect. The video, directed by Rafe Gibbon, does the lyrically sparse track justice by letting Ella

VIDEO: The Lulls - Paris

What makes a really cool song even greater? An inspired video! And the Californian surfgaze-trio The Lulls did just that. Together with their new single “Paris”, they also released a stunning video to go with it. It’s a classic band video, filmed like what an Apple Inc. commercial might

Music

VIDEO: Rooms - Stars Beyond

“Stars Beyond” is a mesmerizing new song by Sydney psychedelic-pop duo Rooms. The video to go with it, tells the charming yet heart-breaking love story between two women. End of story… …wait! This is one of the videos worth spending time on because of its sheer beauty and emotional depth.

Music

VIDEO: Wildwood Kin - Warrior Daughter

Wildwood Kin is a trio of two sisters with their cousin from England, but their style of indie Americana is more at home over here. The video for “Warrior Daughter” shows them in the beautiful setting of an enchanted forest with an abandoned mansion. Plus, they doing some seriously awesome

VIDEO: Bichkraft - Stain of Rest

Hailing from Kiev in the Ukraine, Bichkraft recently visited New York City to play a few gigs and to mainly record more material, after having released an amazing full length album on Wharf Cat Records in June 2016. Their debut album “Shadoof”, is full of raw energy and confidence in

VIDEO: Big Eyes - Stake My Claim

No better way that starting a day with some serious rock. Big Eyes is the band of Kait Eldridge and “Stake My Claim” is a jolt of energy, just under two and a half minutes long. In the video, you will see her walking through the city moving in reverse,

VIDEO: FEWS - 10 Things

FEWS, the Swedish/American quartet based in the U.K., have with their debut “Means” released one of my top favorite albums of 2016 and after The Zoo and 1000 Goosebumps, they put out another video, this time for “10 Things”. Initially, the splatter style B-movie video set in a

VIDEO: Electrogenic - In This Together (Apoptygma Berzerk cover)

Apoptygma Berzerk is a Norwegian band who is around since the late 80s and I have to admit that I didn’t know them until a few days ago. But there are a lot of younger bands that feel being musically influenced by them so much that they decided to

Music

VIDEO: The Strokes - Threat of Joy

I love The Strokes. Period. Julian Casablancas’ solo album “Phrazes for the Young” is my personal go-to-album when I’m looking for something up-lifting. It does its job perfectly. Every single time. And so, featuring “Threat of Joy”, the new video by The Strokes is nothing that anybody and even

Music

VIDEO: Factory Floor - Ya

The videos of Factory Floor often contrast with their apocalyptic style of dance music: In “Ya” we see a young woman being busy with operating a non-functional machine in a bright room, which resembles a modular synthesizer (and is actually a piece of art by band member Nik Void). While

VIDEO: MassMatiks - 4AM

East London quartet MassMatiks have released a video accompanying their second stunning single “4AM” and it couldn’t be any better. It follows a proven formula that works so well for emerging bands and is especially appealing: take a great song, tell a story, visualize the song’s meaning and

VIDEO: Banks - Fuck with Myself

It’s good to have Banks back: she delivered one of our favorite albums in 2014 and we are more than eager to hear what she is up to now. This song is a great start and we’ll hear more in September, when her album drops.

VIDEO: Sea Span - Diane

Going through phases when I wish for a different first name, toying with diverse options, along comes “Diane” and easily takes pole position! The indie-pop song features an understated, lush beauty like a hot, lazy Summer day. While lyrically the track is about a break-up, it is not all gloomy

VIDEO: I Am Snow Angel - Losing Face

The visuals speak for themselves: just watch I Am Snow Angel in this beautiful pole dance performance for her song “Losing Face”. Also, check out photos of her live performance at Rockwood Music Hall.

VIDEO: Lowell - High Enough

Lowell is back! Her debut album “We Loved Her Dearly” was one of my favorites in 2014 and her new song “High Enough” hints that she is up for an excellent follow-up. The music and video feel a little more subdued than her previous work, but it is still absolutely
