WatchWeekend - End Times
Glitchy VHS heaven.
hearinggold:
Quick interchanges between blurry and indiscernible visuals make up the video for California natives Weekend and their catchy guitar-distorted, bass line grooving tune. The track “End Times” is taken from their album Sports via Slumberland Records.
WatchPREMIERE: Busses - Liar
This band of work-a-day Philadelphians has been burning through the local indie rock scene for several years now. They’ve got some of the sweetest wheat-pasted posters around, sneakily living on in the unexpected corners of the neighborhood, gently yellowing. Here, a new slow jam recorded + shot live in their rehearsal space by Joshua Camerote. Pick up their latest...
WatchAlgodón Egipcio - El Día Previo
Gorgeous visual work to the dreamy pop song from Ezequiel Bertho, my favorite song writer from Caracas, Venezuela. Get the single from his album La Lucha Constante. Compact disc release from Lefse Records.

This is the new video for my song “El Día Previo”. It was directed by Pablo Ortiz. I asked for video help on twitter, Pablo responded and...

WatchGlitter Bones - The Dark Tide
One of the common threads with all great time-based art is tension. That’s excactly what video director Kayla Kane deftly brings to this song. Shimmery dress, dancing hips, intoxicating, close up, mysterious motives, unknown people, fixed gaze, mesmerized, quickening pulse. Is this the definition of the dark side tide?
Grab the single free from the Chicago...

WatchPure X - Easy
Can’t get enough of this record. I listened to my new splatter-paint ltd. vinyl copy of Pleasure in my living room the other night twice in a row. Here, a gorgeous new video directed by Malcolm Elijah Welbourne (who’s got a pretty rad art/img Tumblr).

WatchPREMIERE: Welcome Back Sailors - A Fortune Teller Song
This Italian duo brings their brand of R&B-meets-glofi in the best way Italians do - with a breakdancing video. Truth is, the chillness of the tune is delightfully discordant with the speed of the heavy headspins. Here’s to hoping the dance never stops.
Look for their debut Yes/Sun LP on vinyl from the We Were Never Being Boring...
WatchYalls - Germs
Not gonna lie, I love the work of Dan Casey. His ability to pan through the stream for gold soundz is uncanny. He doesn’t seem to waste an ounce of precious pop while keeping the weird flowing like water.

Our boy BJ over at Chocolate Alaska was kind enough to whip this dreamscape up for us celebrating...

WatchPREMIERE: Cough Cool - Pete Perez
Despite the wicked, out-there music that Philadelphia musician Dan Svizeny creates, he’s a pretty normal bro. I know this because, well, he works with me. We rap about our nerdy music obsessions daily, and I’m lucky to get the first crack at all his new space’d jams. The other day he was emailing Berlin-based video artist Will Rockel...
WatchSecret Skwirl - Jeez Louise
The jury’s still out for me on this John Lennon-esque tune from Los Angeles, but holy wow. This stunning work by New York based artist Maxime Bruneel is outa this world and worth every delicious second.

“JEEZ LOUISE” is critical without being argumentative. There’s only so much that can be gained in combat, and pointing out the flaws of...

WatchPREMIERE: Noah Wall - Mind Games
When you’re asleep, they tell us, dreams are made up of bits and pieces of your thoughts and experiences that randomly get mashed together with elements of your unconscious - a process not unlike defragging your brain. Here, we’re taken on a visual trip by artist Carlos Charlie Perez through the dream he imagined while listening to the bass-crunched...
