The ORWELLS - Mallrats (La La La)
Not gonna lie - this is guilty pleasure. It’s simply so over-the-top you can’t possibly take it seriously, but go ahead - get sucked into the slacker mall party. Punk rock - the only escape from suburbia for suburban kids?
Directed by Eddie O’KEEFE. Nab that single right here or trade yr Orange Julius for the whole Remember When LP.

BOSCO - PACER
Brittany Bosco is a visionary Atlantan musician who’s look is not coincidently Grace Slick-esque, so thus appropriately she’s grabbed her synth pop sound by the balls and sneers in its face. And despite its glamorization of cig smoking (bleh), this beautiful video directed by supadope for Boombox Films sexes up the track just enough.
Get the PACER EP free over on her...

G△Z△ - GHOTNC
Not really sure what the hell this is, but its heavy drone overtone match the gorgeous, mysterious dystopian sci-fi future perfectly. This is exactly how I envision 2156 when the alien overlords have overtaken earth and begin building their structures.

Zambri - To Keep Back
Video directed by Milton Ladd is dripping with visual honey, you’re not going to be able to look away. Slow motion zooms and pans ride along those viscous channels along each edge of this beautiful single.
Sisters Cristi Jo and Jessica Zambri have “been creating music together since they were children… Glossolalia refers to speaking in tongues; it is a...

Amen Dunes - For All
Been a fan of Damon McMahon’s high-brow, deconstructionist acoustic work since seeing his eponymous tour back in 2006. He gave me a demos CD back then, and I wore a laser groove into that particular compact disc. This hyperminimalist video by Jesse Hlebo is stunning artistry.
Get this track on the B-side of Through Donkey Jaw LP from Sacred Bones.

Wild Vibes - Molly
Another sweet and playful vid by Bicephaly Pictures, directed by Ani Simon-Kennedy, this time for New York emerging psych-pop talent Brett Copell. Easy, comfortable yet sexy as wearing a lacy slip.
Pick up the new Zolpidem Lovesick EP free from his Bndcmp.
Previously: “Innate”

Body Cheetah - The Smell of Dead Bodies
Was cruising through ChambersVsDolph’s music video creations because he had a funny tweet about weed (oh, the rabbit hole) and I came across this girl-gang cut up vid he made for this wicked jam from the New York-based “psychoswagger” artist that would give Wise Blood a run for his money. Dirty, weird and catchy as hell - I’ve...
