Music Videos We Love – Martin Luke Brown, Robert Ascroft, Derek Lassiter, Mobley

It’s not easy to give yourself to a moment like we see in the video for to be a man.  The new single from Martin Luke Brown doesn’t hide from the source that influenced it. 

This narrative, though difficult, is not that rare.  Rather it’s effectively relatable.  Most of us, at some point, find our way into this circle.  We might be there for different reasons, but the desired outcome is mutual.  We’re all trying to heal.  Beyond the narrative the video offers some effective performances from its collective actors.  See yourself in this moment.  

Robert Ascroft creates a special kind of music video.  The trend proceeds with Devil Opens The Door (feat. Kid Congo Powers).  What he offers that is refreshingly unique is the chance to create abstract portraits of the actors in his features.   He lets their magnetism and warped charisma shine.  His magic is in how he captures them in compromising moments of dark despair. 

The newest video is another art work that honors the legacy and impact of the late David Lynch, who Ascroft knew as both a collaborator and a friend.  Ascroft continues to embrace the bizarre brilliance that made Lynch legendary.  Let the weirdness live on. 

With every emphatic sprinkle the snare brush prompts your attention throughout Years & Years, the new single from Derek Lassiter.  This heartfelt ballad has coming of age reverence.  It’s a soulful recollection of what’s been sought and what’s been wrought from false expectation. 

Disappointment is haunting, and this musical effigy knows it’s better to look back with a sense of grace.  Enjoy the video, it’s magical. 

Mobley caught our attention with the video for their new single No Exit.  The cut style suits the songs cinematic essence.  Paired with the songs exotic melodic influence, No Exit appears otherworldly.  The storyline has a sort of metaphysical, time traveling under layer.  As if you’re previewing various meta verses of Mobley. 

It’s a catchy jam too, with some groovy instincts that recall an influence of classic trip hop.  It’s super cool.  Check it out.
