Slow Leaves dreams up something visually poetic with the video for their single Nothing Really Changes. A sentimental classic folk feel suits this Truman show style dark comedy, some weird twisted future where the stage reflects reality. The tale is unforgiving. It shows the folk artists tired existence. That dream to sing sad songs has its own undersold mundane routine. The saving grace comes in the videos last moments, a reminder of life’s true comforts, if only you are to be so lucky.
Jangle punk PYNKIE adds to her quirky art pop appeal on the intriguing new song and video that is Plz. This nurse by trade spares no moment, gravitating towards the bright side of existence and not taking herself too seriously. We marvel enviously at these childish comforts but as a nurse she’s likely seen the dark side of our shared experience. It makes sense that she delights in arcade games and kiddie cars. We once knew a tough guy Ambulance worker who preferred the Hallmark channel in their free time. The world is a dark place, but Plz is a summery dream pop vibe. Stylistically it connects with releases by Night Tapes and A Beacon School.
AI videos are coming in strong and occasionally hitting home. WCB drew up something special for their song Tramadol. A mind altering computer animated trip, it accentuates the computer’s bizarre electric imagination, one that would make Picasso feel challenged. A song is a catchy exotic eastern electro jam. Ripe with sex appeal and underground international flair, the video looks to amplify the chemical trip already derived from the experience within the song itself.
