There’s a lot to unpack in the video for Oh Kristen by Tanner Cordiak. A catchy alt pop jam in any light, the video adds another dimension to the artists aura. The opening scene is fairly concerning but appropriately dramatized and fair within this context. Our complicated demons are more complex and demanding than often presumed. Past lovers evolve as paradigms, fixations on our tortured minds, we self destruct in an attempt to shake them off.
The video elegantly combines artistry and eye candy in a way that honors the songs own catchy contrast. We love Oh Kirsten, we hope Tanner’s alright. Stylistically the song recalls bands like The Districts. Enjoy the show.
Go behind the scenes in the video for Stripmine Skyline, the new single from cult indie icons Sea Ray. We delight in these kind of candid creative flashes sparsed between contemplative moments of the artists process. That bond erupts in a convincing stylistic pivot as the product rises from the shadows of the process to the big stage.
All of the practice pays off in a rapturous performance full of convincing energy. The studio performance delivers too, with an energizing affect that resembles their concert. Their dynamic recalls Ra Ra Riot on steroids, a band they likely inspired, we can dig it. Check it out.
When it comes to Rodney, things are complicated. The new single from Birthmark opens up the diary and slaps it on the front page of life, dismantling a tugging secret in one rapid swoop. A secret being a premonition, toiling between sexuality and the classic family dynamic. Perhaps having Rodney around is good for everyone, or at least it’s made to seem that way in this charming familial response.
A response that appears to be not much of an event at all. To be fair, no matter how weird this cloaked masculine spandex silhouette seems, they don’t seem to bother his wife and kids one bit. We accept a lot but somewhere we draw the line. If you love someone enough, how far does that line lie? For this family, Dad is worth the stretch.
Strap in for all of POSSUM, the new single and video from mejia ft eels. Everything is not as it seems in this clever story. You should have known when the first moments of this video game inspired papers to start flying.
If such a device as you’ll see is real, we would endorse it. Free yourself from your corporate prison, reclaim your truth.
It’s a catchy jam too, bridging the realms of LCD Soundsystem and Spoon. Or, more appropriately, a descendent of Eels himself. He is, after all, an institution in his own right. Check it out.
