Videodrome 111 – This week’s best videos

Here’s this week’s new wave of fresh music videos featuring excellent audiovisual treatments by directors like Annapurna Kumar, Nabil, Tim & Barry and Zia Anger for bands such as Jef Barbara, Arctic Monkeys, Sealings and many more.

#1 Jef Barbara – “I Know I’m Late”, directed by Jess Lee

Jef, my man! A kick ass video for the surprisingly catchy track “I Know I’m Late”. I can’t wait for the release of his album later this fall.

#2 DJ Dog Dick – “Dried Old Leaves”, directed by Max Eisenberg and Brad Hurst

Hailing from Bushwick, Brooklyn, this is DJ Dog Dick aka Max Eisenberg. “Dried Old Leaves” is from his debut album The Life Stains. It’s the find of the week, although I’m obviously pretty late in the game.

#3 Julianna Barwick – “One Half”, directed by Zia Anger

A gorgeous and ghostly track and video from Julianna Barwick’s forthcoming album Nepenthe out August 20th. Daniel, where’s your review?

Need some strobe lights? Then go for this crazy, hazy noise clip above. The single is out on August 26th via Too Pure Singles Club.
