Set to play our club night Friday Night Fist Fight in mid-June, I don’t want to imagine how long it took singer Roberta Fidora animate. “Made with several tubs of glitter and a worn out scanner,” hopefully the single does well.
Off their forthcoming album Family, Animals will be an introduction to The Cast Of Cheers for many, but it’s one you won’t quickly forget. Expect to hear a lot more of The Cast Of Cheers this year. Directed/edited by Babysweet.
The first single off upcoming album Unpatterns, Simian Mobile Disco set your anticipation ablaze with a great video for Seraphim, although good luck making sense of the narrative. Directed by the talented Aoife McArdle.
A-Trak, Foster The People’s Mark Foster and Kimbra teamed up for Converse to produce track Warrior, which sounds something like a Mark Ronson track, but never fear, it’s much better than anything he’s ever done. There’s a pretty fun video for it too. Download Warrior for free here, and hopefully Converse have some more coming up.
Off their second album w h o k i l l, released some time ago in April last year, tUnE-yArDs’ Bizness is a typically eclectic affair. Boasting a craze of facepaint and wild dancing, Mimi Cave has directed another wonderful video.
Off new album released last month, The Clearing, Bowerbirds’ video for single Tuck The Darkness In is a heart-warming affair as a boy feels sympathetic for a fish his father catches. Calmly directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada.
One of the worst-named but most-promising bands around, 2:54’s new video for You’re Early is just another illustration of why you should be listening to them. Directed by Jeppe Kolstrup, it’s a subtle and mysterious epic.
Taken from the album Grinderman 2 RMX, Factory Floor filmed and directed this video for Michael Cliffe’s house remix of their track Evil, created with paint pigment on card, then placed the card onto an amp playing the remix.
While we can’t pronounce the title of Regina’s single either, the video shot by Osma Harvilahti is pretty special.
Putting out their long-anticipated debut album Mixed Emotions last week, All Of Me is their second single off it, hitting a working men’s club for a slow dance. Directed by Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh, a first for him too.
