It's create your own video-time as Grimes and co. deliver this green screen video setup; encouraging viewers to add their own fx. Off the pretty good Miss Anthropocene album.
A stunner filled with foreboding tension and circles upon circles.
Jovan Todorovic, director: "SOHN sent us a frame from Jurassic Park, a cup of water with ripples in it resonating from the massive steps of the approaching T-Rex. The concentric circles inspired me to look for more circles, not only in the physical world, but even more importantly within my inner life. A line is not enough to symbolise the vector of one’s life, I feel it’s maybe better represented as a progression of circles that are chained together. So this video is about circles and lines, the past, present and future, regret, anger, despair… being lost in the tunnel of ones inner life and the physical labyrinth that surrounds us. In the end we face our own self, and we are led to dive deeper within. To me the video is very meaningful on a personal level, but I tried to paint it in such a way so everyone could potentially reflect on themselves. We shot the video back home in Serbia and were lucky to find some amazing locations, and a wonderful crew. But it was Dado, one of the most talented theatre actors in Croatia today, who really gave the video it’s substance."
Grimes has had one very busy Summer of 2016. The Canadian musician decided while on tour with fellow artist HANA in Europe that they were going to shoot some videos (with Grimes' brother Mac as the cameraman). Taking the "visual album" route that's in vogue today, this team has released all seven of them on the same day, individually and together in this master clip. This Twitter post by Grimes herself explains it all.
Dressing up like gentlemen and ladies of the English court is a trend that comes around every now and then, and it may be making a comeback if the Lemon Twigs and director Brook Linder get their way in the Lemon Twigs' début vid.
If you're an American male of a certain age then you probably remember trolling the mall for chicks, striking out, and then wasting some time and quarters at the arcade. So it goes for the gameless and hopeless Ariel Pink and his buddy in this video...
Director Joel Kefali and tUnE-yArDs frontwoman Merrill Garbus put their affection for Pee-Wee's Playhouse front-and-center in this "tribute" to the show. With a slight air of Wonder Showzen and "Move Your Feet"-style animation thrown in the mix. Why can't all Saturday morning kids' programming be this ecstatic anymore?
Ain't no twerking at a National pool party, but the fellas get surprisingly boozy and rowdy while keeping it classy with Suit & Tie shit and a lovely b&w grade.
"Patient" picks up where "Five Seconds" left off, but leads to a diversionary chapter in which Twin Shadow aka George Lewis Jr and gang find themselves in a performance video at a bar that's a mix of True Blood vampire vibes, Devil-era Motley Crue, and Coyote Ugly routines. --> watch "Patient"
