LarzRanda "Lifeguard" (Thunderlips, dir.)

The Artist Formerly Known As Randa continues an awesome streak of music video in this character study of a socially awkward Lifeguard who seems incapable of getting the girl, or saving a life — unless he resorts to something a bit more dangerous.

Shunkan "Our Names" (Connor Strati, dir.)

A pseudo-psychedelic journey into the unknown... Spooky cult imagery ensues. "Our Names" is a single from NZ band Shunkan's upcoming debut album The Pink Noise.

The Eversons "Emily" (Thunderlips, dir.)

The Eversons frontman Mark Turner attempts to win back "Emily" while she works her shift as a waitress at a Chinese restaurant. Big mistake. Not only does he wind up with hot tea and even hotter chili flakes in his face, he also gets his heart ripped out of his chest.

Which is a shame, since the dude had a whole choreographed flash mob arranged, including some people dressed up as living/dancing potstickers.

PREMIERE: Late Night Poets "My Darling" (Connor Strati, dir.)

"My Darling" tells the story of a relationship through nothing more than a pair of hands, from first brush to an awkward goodbye... Director Connor Strati uses a square 1:1 aspect ratio that gives things a personal, homemade feel, while also drawing additional focus to those hands that tell you everything you need to know...

A Perfect GIF Video About Love Gone Bad by Thunderlips [NSFW]

Nothing is sweeter than a teenage girl's first love, except for the revenge she'll get after he breaks her heart.

The Thunderlips directing crew tell this typical tale via GIFs — yes, you can also experience this as a Tumblr page — letting those lo-fi little loops show the descent from sex into violence (and datamoshing).

Lots of this is NSFW — especially the shots involving fruit and knives — so careful, careful.
