children & olafur eliasson by Ryan Jeffery

Beautiful little video by Ryan Jeffery, whom you may recognize as the guy who made that awesome Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose video I posted a couple days ago.  Epic.

Alela Diane - “Every Path” (DUMBO West Session)

Nice to see Rough Trade continuing with these beautifully shot, intimate performance videos for Alela. She’s a talented lady, and a total sweetheart. You can purchase the new album in a bunch of formats (including double vinyl and FLAC) here, and I posted the other video here.

Pretty next-level video for Department of Eagles’ “Nobody Does It Like You,” directed by Marcel Dzama and Patrick Daughters. Daughters’ did that famous-ish Feist “1-2-3-4” video, which makes sense given all the choreography going on here. Interesting to see Dzama doing videos now. This one definitely looks like a live-action incarnation of his creepy/pretty drawings. I do wonder where videos like this end up these days. This one seems too violent for MTV, and getting posted on Pitchfork and Stereogum (and TRMW!!!) only goes so far. The directors can use this in their reels and get paid buttloads for commercial work, but how much does this do for record sales? I’d say that’s the elephant in the room regarding the current music-videos-on-the-web renaissance. Regardless, this still stands as quite lovely art-in-and-of-itself, which makes sense given that it premiered at MOMA.

White Fang: SpaceGemz [Marriage]

This looks like an E*Rock/Wyldfile joint to me. Watch for the green peace-sign-flashing Alf at the end!! *head explodes*

Holy crap, this Vetiver video is awesome. It’s faux-karaoke (that would be an awesome[ly lame] band name, btw), and I’d say they 100% nailed it. The late 80s / very early 90s fashions, hair tossing, random dancing, ridiculous plot, rollerblades (lots of rollerblades)… it’s all in here. Also, the new album is good.
