Capital Cities | Safe and Sound

“Safe and Sound”, the excellent single from LA based Capital Cities, has been on my iPod for ages, but now it finally has a fantastic video companion (seriously, one of the best I have posted this year). 

The clip goes through the history off dance in what must be the most epic dance-off of all time. And props to those behind editing this one, because it’s very, very cleverly done. 

Capital Cities album In A Tidal Wave of Mystery is out June 11th

Young Galaxy | Pretty Boy

“Pretty Boy”, the first single off YG’s latest album Ultramarine is exactly the kind of slick synth-pop I’ve always enjoyed from these guys, but their lyrics are reaching profound new heights here. 

So find your pretty boy and get ready to dance. 

Frank Ocean | Lost

A pretty obvious, but perfect idea for this video for “Lost”, my favorite cut from Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange 

Alphabeat | Love Sea

I already loved this song, but I also really love the concept for the newly released video. Really I just love everything about Alphabeat. They always put me in a good mood. TGIF everyone!

Azealia Banks | 1991

“1991” does sound like a hip-hop jam straight out of the 90s, and that vibe continues in this new clip from Banks for the retro-tinged jam. It also continues the trend of videos from her in which she stands around in cool clothes acting real sassy. And nothing wrong with that.

David Byrne & St. Vincent | Who

Here’s the first video for “Who” for the collaborative album Love This Giant between David Byrne and Annie Clark (St Vincent). I’ve voiced my issues really getting into St. Vincent, but “Who” is an instantly accessible tune that’s got a kind of toe-tapping, hip swaying funk that’s just a lot of fun, and Annie’s vocal trills here are actually pretty great. 

As for the video, it’s a whole lot of crazy, but the out-of-nowhere dancing was definitely my personal highlight. Byrne’s got some moves! 

Dance on over and like me on Facebook, too!

Matt and Kim | Now (Lyric Video)

A seizure inducing lyric video for “Now”, a track off the new album LIGHTNING (out October 2nd). 

  • You can grab “Now” for free right NOW by going HERE. And why wouldn’t you want free music? 

Major Lazer | Get Free 

Here we have a video for the first single off the forthcoming Free the Universe, which features Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors fame and Diplo. The clip was shot on location in Jamaica and features slices of life from quiet mornings to crazy nights. 

The album drops November 6.

Sleigh Bells | End of the Line

Tap your foot along to Alexis Krauss and her fast-paced, catchy vocals in this new clip that finds the Sleigh Bells duo biking around and occasionally walking to the sounds of my favorite SB track off 2012’s Reign of Terror. If that doesn’t exactly sound thrilling, just watch anyway. You won’t be sorry.

Voltaire Twins | Solaris

Well, these 2 siblings from Australia are certainly getting intimate in this new clip for single “Solaris”, which finds them singing their hearts out while orgy-ing it up with a lot of hot bodied men and women. That should make for some interesting family talk. “So remember that time we sang together while all those people writhed around naked around us? Good times.” 

Feliz Cartal | Tonight

Here’s a fun song with one of those videos of people hanging out and having fun, but made way more meaningful by the use of music. Maybe not original, but somehow these kinds of clips never fail to make me feel kinda good. 

Grimes | Genesis

Claire Boucher of Grimes has directed her latest oddball video herself, full of weird fashion of disinterested people.
