Deer Tick - The Dream's In The Ditch

Over the course of the next few weeks, Deer Tick will be releasing bits and pieces of its new LP Negativity up until its formal September 24 release. The first of which comes in the form of a slow-motion, reverse shot video for the criminally crafty "The Dream's In The Ditch." It's a relatively simple video, featuring the band's adventurous limo ride through Providence, Rhode Island, performing the ol' Chinese Fire Drill.

Check it out below. Negativity is set for release September 24 in the U.S. and 30 in Europe, courtesy of Partisan Records. Also catch the band performing "The Dream's In The Ditch" on Conan September 25.

Franz Ferdinand video - Evil Eye


Director Diane Martel, who's biggest claim to fame is her video for Robin Thicke's mega-hit "Blurred Lines," stepped back in the ring again with the thoroughly violent new video for Franz Ferdinand's "Evil Eye."

The Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action single features a VHS-level array of B-movie violence in a freakish ray of Americana phantasm. So the NSFW label does as well here as it did in "Blurred Lines."

Check out the video below. Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action  is out now on Domino.

TV On The Radio video - Mercy


With the new videos for "Mercy" and "Million Miles," you'd figure we'd here something concrete on a new album from TV On The Radio. While it's pretty evident that the band will be releasing a new LP on guitarist Dave Sitek's Federal Prism imprint pretty soon, there hasn't been much in the way of total confirmation. Until then, watch the brand new stop-motion animated video for "Mercy" from director Dawn Garcia.

El-P on "Rhythm Roulette"


El-P was the most recent victim (or whatever you make of it) on Mass Appeal's Rhythm Roulette web series.

The Brooklyn rapper, known as well for his solo efforts as he is for the monstrously good Run The Jewels (never forget that), is also one of rap's finest producers. Fans familiar with the series will note the premise; a producer picks three random LP's blindfolded and warps them into something of a beat. El-P's collection comes with soul and Beethoven, so how he weaves that into something remotely good is insane. Check it out below.

Shigeto - Detroit Part 1

Taken from his recently released No Better Time Than Now, Shigeto debuted the new video for "Detroit Part 1."

Following the title premise, Shigeto gives an inside view of his hometown and his studio. It's a pretty bleak perspective, but then again we're talking about Detroit here. Check it out below and grab No Better Time Than Now on Ghostly International.

Danny Brown - ODB


Is it too much out of line to think that OLD might end up being the best rap album of 2013?

It's got steep competition with Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap and Run The Jewels (BOTH STILL FOR FREE), but first indications of the delayed Danny Brown follow-up to 2011's XXX are extremely high. Case and point; "ODB."

The oddball production from Brown's producer Paul White (who also produced XXX) is nothing short of extraordinary on the track, which has a fittingly bizarre video to go along with it. It's a serious must listen.

OLD is set for release September 30 on Fool's Gold.

TV On The Radio - Millions


After releasing "Mercy," the first new single from TV On The Radio since the Brooklyn band's 2011 LP Nine Types Of Light, the band is back again with a brand new song/video for "Millions."

The track serves as a bright contrast to the frenetic "Mercy," offering a more sedated ballad that doesn't come up short. The video starts as garden show, serving as an ironic post for what garden shows tend to do - ignore the actual plights of the environment. Eventually it evolves into something of a statement of preservation and resilience. Watch below.

Mount Kimbie - Home Recording


UK producer duo Mount Kimbie, months after the release of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, have debuted the slow-shot new video for "Home Recording." Director Anthony Dickenson took charge of the effort, strewing an array of image and lighting contrasts for the slow-burn dub-infused track, making it seem ever more desolate and wanting.

Watch below, courtesy of Rolling Stone. Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is out now on Warp Records.

Night Beds video - Ramona

Abraham Vilchez-Moran's video for Night Beds' "Ramona" tells the well-traveled story of a man facing his ever-longing disconnect. Before he fully collapses in his own swatch of emotions, he pulls himself together with a fairly heart-warming ending.

Stream the effort below and grab Night Beds' most recent LP Country Sleep today on Dead Oceans.

Erlend Øye video - La Prima Estate

Norwegian singer-songwriter Erlend Øye, who some may remember as one of the members of Kings Of Convenience, has a new album coming out later this year, featuring this positively heart-warming "La Prima Estate." The accompanying video, which was shot in Sicily (it's in Italian, FYI) by Marcin Öz and Gabriele Galanti, does everything in its power to match up to the unreal charm of the track, with some fairly gratifying results.

Check the video out below. 
Øye's LP will be released later this year - his first since 2003's Unrest, courtesy of Bubbles Records.


Milo video - Besos


Among the litany of "breakout" 2013 artists, there are few that much up to Milo (so far). The Hellfyre Club rapper, who just released his awesome, free Cavalcade mixtape over at Bandcamp, debuted the sweetly bizarre new video for "Besos" with director Riley Lake. The greenscreen adventure may be odd for some, but the song kills it beyond words.

NOK From The Future - Abysso

Opus Eternum have curated this delightfully insane new video from little-known NOK From The Future, which takes heavy swings from chaotic to heartwarming in less than a minute's time. Notice, for one, the nightmarish screams that eventually sway into a beautiful sampling of Queen's seminal "Somebody To Love," all packaged in an utterly-fantastic video. Check it below.

New Julianna Barwick video - One Half


Highlighting what's sure to be another gorgeous record from Julianna Barwick, directer Zia Anger utilized the defying atmospheric nature of Barwick's "One Half" with breathless forest imagery and a wave of naturalistic color contrasts. For as beautiful as Barwick's dream-like vocals tend to be, Anger does her best to almost outdo the track itself.

Watch the video below. Barwick's new album Nepenthe is due out August 20 on Dead Oceans. Until then, stream the release over at NPR.

Quasimoto video - Catchin' The Vibe


The high-pitched Quasimoto, one of the many appreciated projects from LA super-producer/DJ/rapper Madlib, has a brand new trash-centric video for the solemn played "Catchin' The Vibe." The video follows an unknown dump-dweller crafting a mysteriously colorful physical project in the Portland rain as jerky kids look onward. But hey, there's a happier ending than you might think.

Grab Quasimoto's Yessir Whatever today on Stone's Throw Records.

Yo La Tengo video - Is That Enough

Fade standout "Is That Enough" has been crafted into the second of Yo La Tengo's recent animated video series, following "Ohm." The fuzzy orchestral track (don't get to say that often) looks through the endless possibilities of what could actually be the formula behind Yo La Tengo? The answer, as one can see in the video below, takes a lot of time and open ideas.

Fade is out now on Matador Records.

New King Khan & The Shrines video - Darkness

The second single from King Khan & The Shrines new album Idle No More, the first between King Khan and the band in nearly six years, features this surprisingly solemn ballad, "Darkness." It's a pretty obvious left turn from "Born To Die," which debuted last month - fitting much more neatly in the King Khan niche.

The new video comes from German animation team Hylas, which put together a claymation that explores the lost culture of the circus-era strongman. Check it out below.

Idle No More is due out September 3 on Merge.

New Washed Out video - Don't Give Up


Following the lustful chilled-out vibes that flow so effortlessly from Washed Out's young catalog, director Kate Moross paired the brand new "Don't Give Up" perfectly with natural imagery. The entire video is a well-shot travel through the animal kingdom, which always seems to come out at the right time of the year.

Check it out below and grab Washed Out's upcoming album Paracosm August 3 on Sub Pop.

Dfalt video - Moon Milkshake

Animator and director Sam Cox has constructed a lovely piece of work for Dfalt's "Moon Milkshake," which comes from the producer's Helsinki Beat Tape (Part One), out now via Daylight Curfew.

The video focuses on the inner workings of a pie factory, and the expected doldrums coming from the industrial-patterned life, animated in an extremely clever fashion. Watch below.

Braids - In Kind


Director Angus Borsos took the cataclysmic epic "In Kind" from Braids forthcoming Flourish//Perish LP, and paired it ever-so finely with sets of wonderfully naturalistic shots. Song aside, the video itself is quite a marvel, making it at least the most beautiful of the year.

Check it out below. Flourish//Perish is set for release August 20 in the U.S. on Arbutus Records. Pre-orders are available here.

Run The Jewels video - 36" Chain


Go back to May of last year. Then, El-P debuted the video for "Full Retard," starring himself and his obscene puppet counterpart, Mr. Killums, who went missing by the video's end. A year later, with Run The Jewels in full force, director Tim Saccenti starts to unravel the mystery of his disappearance with the new video for "36" Chain."

The video follows El-P and counterpart Killer Mike searching for answers through a seedy apartment complex, getting answers from Andrew W.K., Amber Tamblyn, Heems, and others through all the violence necessary.

Watch the video below and grab (you gotta) Run The Jewels today for free at Fool's Gold.
