Quit Mumbling

The opener of DARKSIDE’s wonderful EP got a video this week that looks like what your weird friends think they’re doing when they go out to the desert. It follows three apocalyptic monks on a quest to find things that shine in a way that works well with Nicolas Jaar’s eerily propellant and open “A1″ [...]

Ever find yourself working late in a pizza parlor and have the strange urge to sever your finger on a pie sliced like a pentagram? While not a common urge, few of the deviant concepts in Father John Misty’s video peripherary are. Grant James’ dismal noir take at shotgun violence and brutal sacrifice finds former [...]

As much as you can debate the effects of digital photography on the medium, there will always be something intoxicating about a photograph. A literal snapshot of your former self on a day that now exists only in memory is a potent catalyst for the rush of recollections transported through time. In Feist’s new video [...]

I have followed Manchester-based producer xxxy since he released the instant dance floor classic “Ordinary Things” early last year. xxxy recently finished up a tour of the US, including SXSW, where he turned the entire dance floor of Barcelona into a sweaty, chaotic frenzy. On April 18, Well Rounded label will release xxxy’s latest 3-track [...]

An ominous foreboding presides over “White Dust,” the new video single from electro Angelenos Greenhorse. Brooding guitars cut through the vague menace of haunting synth wash. The noise gate on an electric drum kit hisses and snaps in a cadence countdown to ignition. Strange and wonderful. A song practically exploding with kinetic vectors of sound [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Jane. Well, at least in this ten minute AG Rojas directed video, this is who you might assume her to be. In this case, Jane is a trans gender parent, paying the bills as a stripper. The official video of Spiritualized’s latest, awesome single brings you into a day of her [...]

Hot Chip went for the popular extended mixes of their favorite 80s hits with “Flutes.” To do so, they called on the long, forever building club mentality that made classics like “Bizarre Love Triangle” so eternally appealing. The result comes from left field, especially when considering the constant playfulness behind 2010′s One Life Stand. Let [...]

“Tropical Cruize” is Xosar’s debut release.  The chords are warm, the beats oscillate precisely and a futuristic drone permeates throughout the track.  There are obvious Detroit influences in this cut, but there’s much more to occupy the mind here than refurbishing what has already been done.   There’s a sense of eerie retro, with a tinge of disguised spaciness.  Her [...]
