Video: Peaking Lights – “Amazing & Wonderful”

Adorned in the sepia shades and black and white schemes of the early Velvet Underground, the Andy Warhol screen tests appear to be the chief inspirations for “Amazing & Wonderful.” Take note Lady Gaga: there is no need to scream “LOOK AT ME, I HAVE READ THE PHILOSOPHY OF ANDY WARHOL TWICE,” unless you take… Continue reading »

Video: Phaseone – “Sugar”

PHASEONE – SUGAR from Vadim Gershman on Vimeo. “Sugar” is one of the best videos you’ll see all year. There are no trendy abstractions and no frills. There are no people riding llamas or shock value tactics. It is an epilogue framed in fast-moving cars and black and white stripes. Last goodbyes in choppy illiterate… Continue reading »

Sach O: Swindle – Moodswings Video

Sach O thinks there might have been something in his drink. Admittedly, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on here. When I think of Swindle’s Moodswings, I think of classy drinks in nice bars, fine looking women and a certain air sophistication. This video on the other hand, features an epilepsy warning, a 3 eyed… Continue reading »

Video: debruit – Mezde

Beyond songwriting, debruit ranks at the forefront of the contemporary bass junkies because of his chimerical sense of imagination and color. He heists records from Haiti, Nigeria, and Iran, and melts them into arabesque patterns. Most of his peers aspire to vaporous nostalgia or 23rd Century futurism, but debruit sounds wholly modern. The kind of… Continue reading »

Lost In Translation

I normally avoid the LOL novelty schtick, but this one is too funny to ignore. Money Boy, Austria’s best import since Falco, gives a valiant effort to translate “Turn My Swag On,” into der Deutsch. Hilarity ensues. This should give pause to the anti-Soulja Boy crowd. Money Boy is the European Bangs. The Honda commercial… Continue reading »

Toro y Moi- “Still Sound”

I initially wrote off Toro y Moi after seeing him last year at SXSW. He was playing solo and his songs seemed a little too uh, chill. Frail wispy melodies that lacked the spine to stand up as anymore more than a passing summer trend. Since then, he’s recruited a full band to flesh out… Continue reading »
