Videodrome #55 – This week’s best videos
It’s been a strange week for a lot of people. Cannibal killer Luka the Impaler was caught in Berlin checking his Facebook, Venus is in retrograde or some such bullshit, and weird vibes are generally all around. But we managed to tear ourselves away from listening to No Trend behind locked bedroom doors to bring you some pretty great videos. Let’s start with our favorite first!
1. Purity Ring – Belispeak
The new Purity Ring album is so perfect. Just keep playing it over and over and trying to guess the next single but they’re all single-worthy and all amazing.
2. ASAP Rocky – Brand New Guy (feat. Schoolboy Q)
Stuttery, dirty flow from one of the hottest players in the game right now.
3. Julia Holter – Our Sorrows
Holter can do no wrong. Ekstasis is one of the more important records to be released in recent memory, and this video is as dreamy as the track.
4. ERAS – Oath
This is off his upcoming album Portals, and if you dig it, we have a nice surprise for you tomorrow!
5. Zola Jesus – Vessel (Live at the Guggenheim)
We can never have too much Zola Jesus, and when you factor in the J.G. Thirlwell involvement you have the makings of some truly special sounds.
6. IRL LDN fan-film (featuring the Weeknd)
Cornelia van RiJswijk’s fashion label IRL LDN (formerly Post-Religion) gets a fashion film courtesy of Dominique Nghiem, who shows off her pieces to a wobbly remix of The Weeknd‘s ‘High For This’.
7. Volkova Sisters – Shiny Fay of Sorrow
If you loved our exclusive stream of their Hope EP, this should make you even happier!
