Ever since Kanye's great "Good Life" video from a few years back, animated typographic lyrics have become sort of a "thing" in music videos. We're not mad. When it's done well, it's a wonderful thing. French production outfit Cauboyz build on the movement with this superb piece for "Dreams" by their countrymen, Husbands. Mixing various fonts and graphical treatments all over the screen, Cauboyz......read more
We first heard of UK directing duo Christopher Barrett and Luke Taylor (aka Us) via their highly amazing animation for Benga's "I Will Never Change" video. Now they're back with more animated awesomeness in the form of this clip created as the second video for "My Number" by the Foals (here's the first). Bringing back fond memories of doing connect-the-dots puzzles as a kid, the video adds a......read more
Brighton, UK's lo-fi pop darlings Fear of Men just dropped this video for their bittersweet single, "Seer," from taken from their singles compilation Early Fragments (out now on Kanine Records). It's a suitably dreamlike clip for a pretty track, with vocalist Jessica Weiss assuming the lead role as a lonely beekeeper in a gorgeous, hazy landscape. Directed by Falvey and Weiss with Williams /......read more
If you loved Thom Yorke's weird, flailing dance moves in the video for Radiohead's "Lotus Flower" or in that infamous SNL performance -- and really, who didn't -- then you'll be pleased with this new clip for "Ingenue" by his side project, Atoms For Peace. Here we find Yorke and a partner partaking in a crazy, conceptual choreographed routine. I'm no expert on dancing, but this rules. "Ingenue"......read more
As if the end of a long weekend wasn't sad enough on it's own, this video for Fryars' "On Your Own" will get those tear ducts working double-time. The haunting, emotion-packed track is paired with morose visuals dominated by images of young ladies crying. We're not -- sniff-sniff -- the types to cry over a music video, but this is breaking our hearts. Fryars’ sophomore album is due out this......read more
Here's a wonderfully-crafted new music video for Paris-based indie pop act, Concorde. Directed by fellow Parisienne Maxime Bruneel, the clip combines animated overlays of alpine landscapes and starry skies with images of a flirtatious Concorde singer/guitarist Clement Froissart and a pretty blonde girl. All in all, it's a fun and playful video for a similarly upbeat track. "Summer......read more
Lovers of stop-motion behold this excellent wire-and-paper creation from Victor Haegelin of French studio Patador Prod. Accompanied by a track from Professor Kliq, Haegelin's wire protagonist walks along to the beat while fluidly unraveling and coiling around paper structures. The one-and-a-half minute result is short is one of the coolest, best made animation pieces we've seen in a while.......read more
Director Clemens Habicht takes a literal approach in his video for "Fall," the latest single by The Presets. Filmed above the Costa Brava in Spain, Clemens put masks of Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton from The Presets on members of the French champion free dive team. Then he filmed the pair taking to the sky, leaping from a plane, and performing an amazing aerial ballet to the sounds of the band's......read more
