Damien Jurado "Lion Tamer" Secretly CanadianRyer Banta, directorDescription: This artpiece layers haphazard footage of the forest and the ocean over silhouettes of people.
Antony And The Johnsons "Hope There's Someone" Secretly CanadianGlen Fogel, directorDescription: The strains of this warbly, weird and downright hypnotic torch song are matched with footage of what looks like a middle aged woman thrashing about in an effort to drift off to sleep. The star of the video is Joey Gabriel, an infamous New Yorker who also appears on the album cover for the band's I Am A Bird Now.
Okkervil River "For Real" JagjaguwarZak Margolis, directorDescription: Sounds like a countrified version of Guided By Voices and looks like a Peanuts cartoon, but only if Charles Schultz had a major drinking problem and a fixation on twisted fairy tales that take place in the lonely corners of Americana. It's actually real moving if you're a sucker for these things, like I am. If you are, then I recommend you watch the video.
