Bastille "Laura Palmer" (Austin Peters, dir.)

Bastille - Laura Palmer

Despite the lack of a log lady, this video takes some unexpected twists as director Austin Peters goes a bit meta: What looks like a fairly stock performance video with trendy VHS camcorder touches,  random outlaw b-roll characters, and even some "hey, we're making a video" behind-the-scenes stills becomes something else entirely when those random folks storm the set, kidnaps Bastille singer Dan Smith and decide to make their own damn video.  

WATCH IT: HAIM "Don't Save Me" (Austin Peters, dir.)

Can Valley Girls HAIM pick and roll their way into your heart? Not only do they have the hoops skills to best some dudes in a three-on-three basketball game, they also know how to bust casually synchronized dance moves that may not make Beyonce jealous, but should make the indie boys swoon. Director Austin Peters carries that b-boy/b-girl homage to a florescent rig that looks like the hooptie version of a golden age Bad Boy video light show. --> "Don't Save Me"
