Video Premiere: BANKS - Trainwreck

Visuals from BANKS are always dark and moody treats and the ones to Trainwreck are beyond! He The Altar album is such a emotive body of work and it deserves stunning visual treatments to say the least. Trainwreck the video paits BANKS the artist with what her label might want from her as a popstar. It's an intriguing world to step into and we love how she's so consistent with her work even though she could easily become a 'airplay hit artist' if she wanted to, we're sure. The ending is too damn good! Thoughts?     

Video Premiere: Nelly Furtado - Pipe Dreams

Yas! Nelly Furtado is b.a.c.k! It's been a full decade since she truly ruled the planet with her Loose album era produced with Timbaland. Her next album The Ride will feature collaborators such as Dev Hynes, Sky Ferreira & Kaytranada and first taster Pipe Dreams sets the bar high. Over a dreamy beat we get Nelly's distinct vocals and the end result is a gleaming gem of a song filled with depth and soul. The video is a lo-fi take far removed from her popstar days on roof tops and basement parties. She's wasting no time whatsoever as it's released directly via Pitchfork. NO middle hands! Watch below! Thoughts?

Video Premiere: Austra - Future Politics

Katie Stelmanis sees the unnerving political times we live in and channels her toughts into a new Austra album. Future Politics is released on January 20 2017 and lead single is the title track. A pulsating electro beat with a piercing vocal and thundering drums helps to deliver the message of change. As Katie says: It's time to build visions that are radically different from anything we've known before. The striking visuals builds on the same theme; a bleak corporate world with strict clothing and skyscrapers and concrete where dancing takes over and an alternate gathering forms. It reminds of Little Boots' Working Era actually! 

Video Premiere: Róisín Murphy - Whatever

As if Róisín Murphy wasn't a genius beforehand with her music and directing her own stunning visuals. Her self-directed video to Whatever is a marvellous social commentary on the age of social media. And she's on the money as we first saw the teaser on Instagram + we've been busy with Snapchat and Facebook for work all day and squeezing in some blog writing, too. The song is taken, naturally, from her Take Her Up To Monto album and plays like a lullaby of sorts with spooky elements. The lyrics fit perfectly to the everyday stress of life in a digital age. Stellar work Ró! PS. Your emojis are amazing. <3  

Video Premiere: BANKS - Fuck With Myself

Brand new BANKS! Fuck With Myself is dark and suggestive as her debut album and we love it. Her sharp and distinct vocals twist and turn over a sparse beat and it's part 90's R&B, part Björk. LOVE! Her whispering is so damn cool, we just wanna sing this chorus walking down the street stat. The breakdown is velevety electronic goodness and gorgeous. The visuals are equally as striking. That BANKS head with her eyes closed is so effective for herself to abuse and the warehouse beings with that blue light and wide lens lends a hand in your next uneasy dream. Too nice!
