Cults are burning up some of that major label money with their beautifully shot new video for “Abducted” directed by David Altobelli. The super catchy pop song works well alongside the creepy imagery, that at times has a David Lynch feel.

Videos: PJ Harvey “Let England Shake”

May 5th, 2011 | 0 Comments

pjharvey

PJ Harvey has been working extra hard as of late. Not only did she release the magnificent Let England Shake in February and embark on an international tour, but she’s also released a slew of new videos in unusually quick succession. Once obsolete, the video is again becoming a popular form of expression for musicians now that the Internet has made it easy to watch and share them.

If you have a chance to catch one of her shows, we highly recommend it. At NYC’s Terminal 5, the music was paired down but powerful. She wore a long white dress with black feathers in her hair and stood meekly off to the side of the stage during the whole performance. Alongside John Parish and Mick Harvey, she played new songs almost exclusively. I would have loved to hear a few more old songs, but it is understandable considering that this album was as usual a transformation for her.

Watch nine new PJ Harvey videos!

Video: Arctic Monkeys “Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair”

April 15th, 2011 | 0 Comments

arcticmonkeys111

Just days after announcing the single, Arctic Monkeys have released a new psychedelic video for “Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair”. It’s a blurry, moody ride with cool, denim-clad Alex Turner and friends. Obviously, they’re going for the mysterious and mature mystique that borders more on metal than brit pop with this album. However, I will say that if you lose the sound, the indistinguishable shapes and Ashcroft-quaffed Turner may have you believing that you’re watching an early Verve video. Either way, I’m always happy to see anything new by the Arctic Monkeys and am very much looking forward to seeing them at Summer Stage in Central Park this May.

Please enjoy!
