La Sera: Never Come Around [Video]

la-sera

Just in time for Halloween comes La Sera‘s video for “Never Come Around.” The song finds Katy Goodman (formerly of Vivian Girls) enacting a massacre Dexter style, but without the vigilante-ism and with an eerie complacency. The video comes from the mind of Brady Hall, who also directed two for Vivian Girls — “When I’m Gone” and “Moped Girls.” This terrifying display of gruesomeness begs the question: why don’t more horror movies have pop soundtracks? If they did, the result would be much creepier and horrific than most of today’s ridiculous cinematic blood-baths. Read More »La Sera: Never Come Around [Video]

25 Great Bands, 30 Great Music Videos

vitalic-birds

Creating a music video, in my opinion, should be about creating art. There are so many intricate elements that should go into a video that are so often left forgotten or, at least, unattended. First and foremost is the song itself — a video must compliment the art to which it is expanding from audio to video. Connecting the two is extremely important. Second is theme. The best videos have some storyline, vague or distinct. Or at least something visually interesting. Read More »25 Great Bands, 30 Great Music Videos

Family Trees: No One Will Ever Know [Video]

family-trees

One of my favorite singles of the year is Dream Talkin’ by Family Trees. With an old-time, lo-fi pop sound and great melodies and lyrics alike, Family Trees is also among my favorite new artists of the year. Now to round out the list of three — they’ve put out a great video for their song “No One Will Ever Know”. Like the music, the video is simple, lo-fi, and hints at a different time… oh, somewhere in the late 60s to early 70s. It’s a great introduction to director Amanda Finn‘s work; hopefully something we’ll see a bit more of in the near future. Read More »Family Trees: No One Will Ever Know [Video]

Kordan: The Mirror [Video]

After watching “The Mirror” by Kordan, you’ll probably be thinking precisely the same thing I am — not enough videos feature the layers found within this one. And if they did, they probably wouldn’t be as effective as they are here. Kordan is a Brooklyn-based dream pop trio with moody synth lines and numbing, dark vocals. Like their music, this video is entrancing, filled with enchanting drones and a mysterious personality. Read More »Kordan: The Mirror [Video]

J Minus: Congratulations, You Suck [Video]

j-minus

The art of storytelling through song has long been a time honored tradition. There are critics out there who believe that a song does not have to have to have an emotional attachment for it to be art. But, after listening to a few tracks from J Minus, those obnoxious syncs, although they shouldn’t be completely disregarded, will seem to make no sense. Songwriter Dylan Fant has created something that is absolutely integral to the music world, and an anomaly to the new age of alternative music. J Minus is the reincarnated spirit of art pop that has been missed since the days of bands like Cracker and Toad The Wet Sprocket. Read More »J Minus: Congratulations, You Suck [Video]

Cowboy Indian Bear: Saline [Video]

cowboy-indian-bear

As odd as it may sound, the music created by Cowboy Indian Bear fits perfectly with the band’s name. Somewhere in the pallid obscurity of a peyote high, out in rustic Deliverance-land in middle America, their music is the loop-filled psychedelic daydream you have during a bout of insomnia at 3am. Luscious harmonies and a driving percussion backed by a hint of rock-meets-pop efficacy, “Saline” generates a power familiar to the Lawrence, Kansas area — a land known for producing great independent artists.

The Sheepdogs: I Don’t Know [Video]

sheepdogs

The Sheepdogs take classic rock down a bluesy, southern country road in their song “I Don’t Know”, and they do it in a classic Mopar with classic film. The video covers two young boys on a joyride. Hailing from Saskatoon in the province of Saskatchewan, one would think the band would be more suited for the flatlands of middle America, or the humid swamplands of the true south. But where small towns reside, so does that classic sound, be it Washington, Canada, or even a small town in eastern California. With plenty of twangy guitars and good-time vocals, “I Don’t Know” is off The Sheepdogs’ new album Learn & Burn. Read More »The Sheepdogs: I Don’t Know [Video]

Golden Ages: Everything Will Be Alright [Video]

golden-ages

Everything that I have seen and heard from Philadelphia group Golden Ages has been very cutting edge. This band has influences, yes, but they pick apart the good pieces and expand on them for a sound both entrancing and captivating. There is something entirely dream-like about everything this band touches, yet it is vivid and clear. This trait is blatant in their video for “Everything Will Be Alright”; traffic signs and light posts split apart and drift away. In the beginning, a bizarre triangle appears, like a portal into a parallel universe. There are peaceful moments, risque moments, and moments that are downright terrifying. “Everything Will Be Alright” demonstrates that the mind can be a very elusive, deceitful, nightmarish thing.
