Open Mike Eagle "Ziggy Starfish" (Kris Merc, dir.)

I think parties are strange places, and when me and Natalie Garcia heard the song, something about how alien a party can be and all the stories that emerge in that setting struck a cord. The lyrics and beat really gave us a haunting vibe, that stuck creatively. We didn't shy away from that vibe as the song really resonated and lingered in that way with us. We focused on a story about isolation and lost moments. In one night you can fall for someone and in that same night lose them.

Ludacris "Grass Is Greener" (Matt Swinsky, dir.)

Ludacris might pass on his latest script, since the proposed situation of having a wild rapper move next door to a family man is the excact scenario he's facing in real life, or at least in this meta-comedy video. Ludacris plays both roles in this Neighbors homage, with both the straight man and the rap man hopefully realizing by the end that they both share a fondness for bush(es).

Braids "Miniskirt" (Kevan Funk, dir.)

In what is possibly a star-making turn —even though this is from Braids’ third album — Raphaelle Standell-Preston sings into Kevan Funk’s camera amidst various types of nature. She sings about feeling slut-shamed and undergoing a bad break-up, things many people go through. Ultimately, though, it’s her performance, and Kelly Jeffrey's gorgeous cinematography, which makes a mark.
