Perhaps you know his photography and Directing work, work, but have you heard his music? We were entranced by the hypnotic nature of Faded Photograph. The new single from Robert Ascroft features Ruth Radelet on vocals. Ruth is widely known for her work with Chromatics. On this collaboration she shines through Ascroft’s music. The video features haunting portraits and a nostalgic twist.
The costumes are fab, and the videos charm is how it romanticizes the B movie aesthetic. It shines an unassuming spot light on the artistic integrity of the creators. Mostly, though, it’s Radelet’s soul that shines brightest. In both song and vision Ascroft does well to illuminate her. After all, it’s that talent that has made him an icon. See for yourself.
She said what? Rewind and yep that’s what she said. Little Hag says what a lot of us are thinking on her new single The Machine. She dresses this rhetoric in an infectious electro pop arrangement and displays it in a delectable music video. All around it’s a slam dunk work that should connect with fans of St Vincent and NIN. There’s no sex in your violence.
For style points Little Hag does well to compliment her production style with a futuristic narrative. Tangled within these wires she gives metaphorical bondage vibes. Let’s get weird. Press Play.
Sainte Victoire is an eccentric art pop star. Her star power is on full display on her new video Laughing In The Water. This video is a straight trip. It finds the star trapped in some kind of Alice In Wonderland style multiverse. The artists embraces every opportunity to show her Hollywood adaptability, all the way up through the moment she stuffs her face with cake.
It’s crazy sexy and refreshingly empowering. Stylistically it connects with artists like M.I.A and Ashnikko. Like that Sainte Victoire is only interested in playing by her own rules. Damn she has fun. See for yourself.
Walter The Producer has an introspective moment on his sentimental new single WALLBOY. He blesses the emotional sensibility with a cheeky music video, one that features a troubled soul stuck in a costumed frog. The video is entertaining and does well to reflect the songs sneaky soulful demeanor. What’s under the costume is often more complicated than meets the eye.
The single is a vibe too, that resonates with an influence of Todd Rundgren or Steely Dan and offers how they inspired acts like Mac Demarco and Steve Lacy. Get into it.
