Why the Balaclava? The subtitled intro? The duct tape helmets? Who cares. Here's a performance video that gallops along thanks to Twenty One Pilots' manic energy and Reel Bear Media's ability to find just the right off-kilter camera angles.
A car crash of a relationship sends two lovers hurtling to opposite ends of the world, only to come back together at the end. But, the core of the video is director Jodeb's kaleidoscopic flurry of exploding objects, from Edison bulbs to stars.
Just in case you didn't get the message from Beyonce's 2011 hit, Santigold provides another "Girls" anthem to go along with the hit HBO series Girls and its accompanying soundtrack. Directors Weird Days keep the inspiration close the Brooklyn-vibe of the show, spotlighting girls of all stripes, sizes, shapes and ages all around the city.
Justin Timberlake returns to the music world with a "Suit And Tie"... The intro feels chopped/screwed/syzurpy, but it soon ramps up into a neo-disco falsetto jam that would be the best Robin Thicke single to date, but perhaps not the comeback instasmash you want from JT.
That said, can you really resist Jay-Z, Timbaland and Timberlake all on one track?
The backwards faces, the bodies dangling from the water tower, and blood everywhere: On knuckles, in a stream and bursting from a mysterious pomeranate seed. A child tries to pay it no mind, but eventually he has to confront his future as a mess on the verge of drinking and dosing himself to death.
