WATCH IT: Sia "Clap Your Hands" (Kris Moyes, dir.)

Director Kris Moyes collaborates again with Australian countrymate Sia — he previously directed her ugly/beautiful video for "Buttons" — on "Clap Your Hands," a discofied descent into a black void of puppetry. The video has Sia dressed all in black and set against a black backdrop, but outfitted with various body puppet guises. It's kinda/sorta similar to Moyes' own video for Architecture For Helsinki — or the Nagi Noda homage to Kurokos that was her video for Scissor Sisters "She's My Man," or my personal favorite: Dorf On Golf — but with a unique day-glo/black-light slant that makes me think this is what it would be like if Lady Gaga collaborated with The Muppets. --> watch "Clap Your Hands"
