Watch It

Black Midi "Eat Men Eat" (Maxim Kelly, dir.)

black midi are one of those uncategorizable, British critical darlings who never seem to play the same things twice. The same could be said for this clip, both sonically and visually, which takes a Western motif and severely warps it. But I'm making a bold prediction here: Robert Eggers will use this as inspiration for the next film. Come back in 2028 to see if I was right.

Girl Band "Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage" (Bob Gallagher, dir.) [NSFW]

Male genitalia and torture is likely not your favorite combo— unless it's Nine Inch Nails "Happiness In Slavery" — but there's something oddly cheery about what goes down in this video for a noisy rock cover of an electronic Blawan track.

And, hey, maybe this is what most pathologists are actually up to behind closed doors... 

WATCH IT: Edward Sharpe "Kisses Over Babylon"

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.
