#1 Kuhrye-oo – For The Fame II (directed by Calvin McElroy & Claire Boucher)

Incredible new track by the uber-talented Canadian producer. ‘For The Fame II’ has a cool post R’n’B groove that makes me wanna daaaance.

#2 DIIV (formerly Dive) – Corvalis (directed by Jonas Wedelstädt)

I generally don’t get too excited about guitar pop, but there’s something about this particular song that has me hooked. Plus the unofficial, fan-made video is just so nice!

3D artist Nic Hamilton has created an unofficial video for ‘Iwaad’, taken from Actress’ latest release R.I.P.

Guitars again! Can’t stop listening to this song. If you’re down for some L.A. psychedelic rock, watch this video above.
