Alex Karpovsky (from Girls) is a bad magician in the new MGMT video, hated by his meagre audience for his terrible tricks. And he&#39;s stuck in a Groundhog Day-style&nbsp;loop. Maybe he&#39;s dreaming - or dying? Because&nbsp;then the world changes, with new hidden, and frankly horrible depths, as he falls onto the operating table surrounded by surgeons.Mike Burakoff and Hallie Cooper-Novack&#39;s video for When You Die employs custom-built software <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gloobysworld/" target="_blank">Glooby</a> to create the hallucinogenic, nightmarish transformations of the real world into something infinitely varied. A world made of flowers, or the blue Cheerios he eats for breakfast, or a Grand Canyon composed of leering faces, and then skulls. It&#39;s a version of&nbsp;&#39;style transfer&#39;, a technique created in the AI community to apply textures and tones from one image to another, and went overground this year, with a Facebook app.Tech site <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/13/16772636/mgmt-when-you-die-video-style-transfer-ai" target="_blank">The Verge</a> says style transfer&nbsp;is now a little bit passé,&nbsp;but this video makes it&nbsp;&quot;look fresh once more.&quot; For the rest of us, who have no idea what style transfer&nbsp;is, it&#39;s amazing, weird, and just a&nbsp;bit creepy. Perfect for MGMT.

MGMT 'When You Die' by Mike Burakoff & Hallie Cooper-Novack

MGMT - When You Die

Kris Merc &amp; Benjy Brooke direct The Peach Kings&#39;&nbsp;Mojo Thunder video as a stylish&nbsp;black and white animation, loosely inspired by Sin City, which also happens to be a gripping noirish psycho-drama...&nbsp;While The Peach Kings&nbsp;provide the rock n roll, Kris and Benjy&#39;s video is liberally spiced with sex in the guise of an amply proportioned poledancer. But the driving emotion is not pleasure.&nbsp;The hitman anti-hero is haunted by the faithful hound he has killed in his grisly line of work.In true film noir fashion, the dominant theme is guilt...
