The Masses

Director Isaiah Seret and co-director Alex Ebert of The Masses reaches an epic scale in "Kisses Over Babylon," a trippy sci-fi piece that's much better described as a short film than a music video. Various classic films seem to have been on Seret's brain — I get vibes from The Last Temptation Of Christ, Caligula (ie: there are boobs) and even Conan The Barbarian (ok, maybe not) — delivering a sense of grandeur and ambition  that you rarely see, especially in videos for indie acts like Edward Shape & The Magnetic Zeroes.

Director Matt Amato's slow and steady style complements the hazy and ethereal sounds of Beach House. The guy/girl duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally are seen getting their stuff together and then heading out of a dusty slice of Nowheresville, USA. --> watch "Used To Be"

This sad, yet eminently dignified video for Bon Iver seems like the work of someone in mourning for a very good reason. While out in Fall River, WI, director Matt Amato received news of a close friend's passing, thus inspiring this meditation on how to keep the fire going while in the midst of some wintry woods. --> watch "The Wolves (Act I & 2)"
