Bloc Party – Octopus
07.12.12 | Permalink | Comment?

I really didn’t think we’d ever see Bloc Party return from their indefinite hiatus, especially with Kele Okereke becoming a solo artist in the meantime, but I’m happy to hear that they finally have a new album on the way. While I don’t *love* this first single, it sounds very promising in that they’re getting [...]

The Black Keys – Gold on the Ceiling

If you happen to be a fan of Harmony Korine’s wacked out Hi-8 flick Trash Humpers, you’ll probably be interested in his new video for “Gold on the Ceiling”, which also makes use of the same aesthetic. I would have given The Black Keys props for taking their hit song and giving it such a [...]

Explosions in the Sky – Postcard from 1952
05.09.12 | Permalink | Comment?

Here’s a new video for a song from Explosions in the Sky’s last album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. If it reminds you of Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, it could be because co-director Peter Simonite was also a second unit cinematographer on the film.

Sigur Rós – Ekki múkk
05.03.12 | Permalink | Comment?

It’s not really a music video per se, but it is an interesting way to preview a new track from the upcoming Sigur Ros album. Valtari hits stores on May 23rd and it seems a lot more minimal than their last few albums. I’m okay with that. Looking forward to finally seeing them live this [...]

Sleigh Bells – Comeback Kid

Pretty awesome new song from Sleigh Bells, although I’m not sure I can condone the use of firearms in a music video. (Obviously I’m kidding.) Their new album Reign of Terror is out on Feb. 21st. Here’s another new song from it: “Born to Lose”.

Non-Zero Possibility

The most revered bands in history are usually the ones who just happened to quit while they were at the peak of their career… by choice or otherwise. We remember them for their best work instead of the slow descent into watered down obsolescence that most other bands eventually take. We see them as being [...]

Van Halen – Tattoo
01.10.12 | Permalink | 1 Comment

It seems like 2012 is going to be a big year for musical comebacks, and Chuck Klosterman is pretty convinced that these guys in particular are far from washed up. I’m not too sure about this video though… it feels like someone was just playing around with random settings in iMovie. As for the song, [...]

AIR – Sonic Armada

I was excited to hear that French electronic duo AIR had a new release planned for 2012, but I became even more intrigued when I learned that it was a soundtrack for a newly restored version of Georges Méliès’ short film Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To The Moon) (featured prominently in the [...]
