Son Lux: We love electronic band Son Lux and their new music video for ‘You Don’t Know Me’, created by The Made Shop and directed by Nathan Johnson. From Son Lux’s fourth album, ‘Bones’, which is out now through Glassnote Records, this awesome vid stars Tatiana Maslany, the fantastic actress who plays at least seven different roles to perfection in the cult clone series ‘Orphan Black‘. Check it out 🙂
Star Wars Bands: Designed by the team of Superfi, Star Wars Bands is a funny series of mashups merging characters of the Star Wars saga with cult rock & pop bands and artists. Love it – very clever! 🙂
Dream Koala: Created by Les Gentils Garçons and directed by FABULOUS 3D (Adrien Peze and Albin Merle), ‘Earth’ is the beautiful new music video from French musician Dream Koala off the EP, ‘Earth. Home. Destroyed.’. Set in an apocalyptic ‘end of the world’ landscape, ‘Earth’ leads us into a mesmerising, dreamlike, and slightly haunting space opera. Check it out below – awesome track and video! LOVE
LINDEMANN: ‘Praise Abort’ is the first video from LINDEMANN’s (a collaboration from Rammstein’s Till Lindemann and Pain’s Peter Tägtgren) upcoming debut album Skills In Pills.
Directed by Zoran Bihac the clip features Tägtgren and Lindemann as anthropomorphised swine and is layered in subtext, check it out below.
Albums like this don’t come along often: violent, visceral and courageous, Skills In Pills is a listening experience like no other. The final revelation is that this album was never meant to happen: it was only ever supposed to be a throwaway collaboration between two friends. As Tägtgren explains: “This is the result of a year of fucking around with sounds! We had no idea that we’d go as far as releasing an entire album, but this thing has just got bigger and bigger.”
The twisted product of two uniquely creative minds, Skills In Pills is your new medicine. Take it now.
The New International Sound Pt. II: Produced by Bromance Records and directed by Inigo Westmeier, the official music video for ‘The New International Sound Pt. II’ by GENER8ION + M.I.A. features 36,000 students of Shaolin Tagou, the biggest fighting school for kids in China. WOW, this vid is epic and will have you totally mesmerised! Check it out.
Freddy Krueger: Ready to kick it old school? We’re heading back to 1988 to hang with The Fat Boys for their rap single “Are You Ready For Freddy”, which was released as the theme for A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. The video opens with the hip hop group meeting a lawyer, outside of an slightly haunted and suspicious looking house, who informs them that in order to receive Uncle Frederick’s (see what was done there?) estate, they must stay the night in the house. Once they enter, all hell breaks loose, with the scares set to the freshest of beats. The best part is definitely Robert Englund appearing as Freddy Krueger who even provides his own raps. It’s lame, it’s awful, but it’s so damn good! Happy Friday, peeps! 🙂
Quack Fat: Directed and animated by Dropbear, it took 240 audio cassettes, 5,600 feet of video tape, 108 floppy discs and 1 retro walkman to create this masterpiece official music video for ‘Quack Fat’ by Opiuo. Check it out below – Amazing work! 🙂
Namie Amuro: ‘Golden Touch’ is a very clever and pretty amusing music video by J-pop sensation, Japanese singer Namie Amuro, which asks all viewers to interact with the clip by simply placing their finger in the centre of their desktop/tablet/mobile screen throughout its duration. The effect will astound you so watch NOW. We really LOVE this! 🙂
Cat Lady Dance: Directed by Scott Winn, our WTF music video of the day, ‘Cat Lady Dance’ features two dancers surrounded by a gaggle of fake cats with a product plug for Oreo, robot moves and some edgy music. Cat Lady. Milk Man. Dancing Cats. Music. Umm okay then. Enjoy! 🙂
Coco de Mer: Under The Skin writer Walter Campbell and legendary photographer Rankin have paired up for X, a short film about sex that’s something of a sensory overload, made in partnership with underwear and sex toy brand Coco De Mer. Using a combination of found footage, seductive acting and an at times brutal soundtrack, X invites you into an otherworldly erotic realm; mixing danger, violence and sex. “The film embraces the sense of the ambient mind and what it might be inspired by, the transgression from banality into wonder”, says Campbell. “More and more I feel we enter the hinterlands of that dream state simply because the mind seeks something wilder, that unpredictable thing, the surprise moment. The film speaks about the morphing of these possibilities, and evokes Coco de Mer’s evolution of erotic thought. Coco de Mer embodies those wonderful flights of imagination that steer the mind to more extraordinary, more vital energies, and this campaign is an exciting platform for the brand to open up the erotic conversation even further.” It’s contemporary, erotic and a lil bit naughty, check it out – LOVE!
