“The narrative of the video is fairly straight forward, it’s a look at a fleeting relationship between a girl and Yannick (Petite Noir)” explain Tim & Joe on the promo to Petit Noir’s Noirse – shot at Rowan’s Bowling Alley in London. “At the start of filming I tried not to stage too much where [...]

A compelling video for Austra’s Home by That Go – that’s Noel Paul and Stefan Moore – which focusses on the face of frontwoman Katie Stelmanis, as she is joined and assisted by friends and bandmates, pre-show. Shot in New York on 35mm film, this has an intimacy that’s been achieved in fairly ingenious fashion, [...]

Aoife McArdle’s very cool video for Jon Hopkins’ Open Eye Signal is a road movie with a difference; it charts the journey of a lone skateboarder through the awesome landscapes of the American West to the soundtrack of Hopkins’s epic track. What appears to be the start of a narrative as the skateboarder, played by [...]

Institute For Eyes – aka directing duo Luke Seomore and Joseph Bull – have created a very atmospheric and mysterious video for former Beta Band and King Biscuit Time frontman Steve Mason’s new single Oh My Lord. It features a mystery man – with a full Invisible Man-type face and hands bandage – who starts [...]

A classic Christmassy tune given an indie-acoustic makeover, some splendid old school cartoon animation, and a girl who know what she wants… it’s Elliot Dear’s charming and very entertaining video for Baby It’s Cold Outside’ by She & Him, otherwise known as Zooey Deschanel and M.

Peter Serafinowicz gets back with Hot Chip once again for Don’t Deny Your Heart, joining the band on the tour bus for some game console footy fun. And in proper Serafinowicz fashion, he takes a scurrilous swipe at the prevailing lumpen football/Playstation mindset with some undeniable CGI homoeroticism. Unless Hot Chip really have got hold [...]

Alden Volney, director of two cool videos for PLUGS, applies an extreme version of his retro-lofi animation style for Villagers’ The Waves – with a video based around the image of an oscilloscope, followed by so much solarisation, flashing and jarringly vibrant colours it could well have set some kind of Harding Test fail rate [...]

Here’s a seriously lofi video for Hot Chip’s How Do You Do by Rollo Jackson, which he shot, in an organic sort of way, in London and LA – and packed with “amazing things”. “I wanted to make a video that reflected the blissful, joyful nature of the song – a sort of celebration of [...]

The superb video for Dan Deacon’s True Thrush – co-directed by Dan himself and Ben O’Brien – is based on a drawing game popular in the Baltimore art collective Wham City, which is in turn based on the game “telephone”. So its all about the entertaining fallibility of human memory… For the video, Dan and [...]

The latest Creators Project puts together British electronic champs Hot Chip with Danny Perez, best known for his collaborations with Animal Collective, particularly the visual album ODDSAC – and the results are an odd and opaque take on the Frankenstein myth. In the first part the scientist/master dismantles his beautiful creation, filling the luminous, gooey [...]
