Middle Sattre drops an interpretative dance smokeshow with the music video for their single Hate Yourself To The Core. The song at its essence is cinematic gold. The pair of modern dance and impressive cinematography amplifies the affect.
Embracing the immersive version of Sufjan Stevens while digging deeper into the experimental reverence of Bon Iver and the harmonious appeal of Darlingside, Middle Sattre is buzz worthy imaginative dreamy indie folk. Kudos to the creative team of dancer Stephanie Shin, Director Maya Lam, and photography director Grant Hao-Wei Lin. The video is a triumph. Check it out.
Once again NewDad effectively capture their aura in moving pictures with the gorgeous video for their new single White Ribbons. A haunting dream pop arrangement suits the videos ghost like illustrated apparitions. The concept is fairly simple but still exhilarating.
The songwriting is beautifully dark, embracing classic melodic elements known to post punk and illuminating them in heavy washes of shoegaze influence. In that way that marry the vibes known to Beach House and The XX. We adore this project. Check out White Ribbons now
Later. Dazzled us with the live performance video for their single Walking on the Line. The eclectic French pop project floors us again with the on concept video for the single Lemon Trees. Presumably shot in the same setting as the aforementioned pop hit, Lemon Trees collectively hits different.
From the cinematic angles to the haunting arrangement, Lemon Trees gets under your skin. This is how we imagine The Doors or even Pink Floyd might have sounded in the indie pop framework. “This is the end, grab your one friend.” Trip on my friends. Dig in.
Any Other caught our attention with the music video for their single If I Don’t Care. A sparkling portrait that embraces the artists intellect while adding some physical content to their aura, Any Other feels like a pop art critique in the vein of icons Velvet Underground. They update that influence with an indie sensibility akin to Julien Baker. Take note, this is just one flavor from their diverse stylistic palette. In that way they also recalls indie shape shifter Mitski.
They may be new to you, but Any Other has enjoyed some prominent success. Adele writes, sings, plays, produces and arranges all of their songs, and gets praised both from Italian and foreign press. On January 26th, Any Other is set to release their third studio album. Check out the video for the single here:
