Sex in a bottle. Shawn Kim, directs this video for Autolux’s grinding “Turnstile Blues.” The multiple monitors are wonderful. Each screen a canvas of its own. The blackness too, as it fades in and out, keeping time, holding place [...]
We took the funicular to the top of Fløyen mountain today and it reminded me of this video. We’re on Kings of Convenience home turf here in Bergen, and this video gives you a tasty taste of how beautiful it is. François Nemeta takes stop motion photos a step further, tiling and collaging them into [...]

Ironically, sound plays a larger role in this video than in most. Directors Si & Ad allow Fionn Regan’s song to dip and mask in each environment, each location becoming part of his performance. “Be Good Or Be Gone” becomes intimate and personal as we travel with it about town, in weather and crowds, and [...]

Another white room and another fantastic haircut. Brett Vapnek directs this Cat Power video for “Cross Bones Style”. It’s a song that gets stuck in your craw. It taunts you, and makes you listen to it on repeat for days on end. We love her dancing, we love her skates, and you can imagine we’d [...]

J. Crew’s always known the value of romance.

This song alone is such a haunting perfect classic. Tim Broad’s slow, all white direction in its video seems to understand the simplicity that is working. The soothing nonchalance of the band, the stand up-leather pants drummer with that bitchin’ [...]

A twelve-minute computer-animated tour of post-modern architectural specimens (real and imagined), set to a heroic, Hans Zimmer-esque soundtrack… frankly, it sounds like a bad idea.
