Finally XXYYXX gives us ‘About U’ in all its glory; the old style to the footage as well as the girl sits well with the vibe of the song, right?

#1 Lunice – Good Kids, directed by JFK

Montreal’s next up-and-comer Lunice introduces his clothing with this video. If you haven’t heard him via TNGHT, his project with Hud Mo, then you should probably accept how out of the loop you are.

#2 Unicorn Kid – Need U, dir.?

Unicorn Kid goes completely piano house all over this one. Which is always a plus for me. Video pleasure? Checked.

#3 Animal Collective – Today’s Supernatural, directed by Danny Perez

Looks like the video budget is back in town. After releasing some crazy computer-made visual music videos, Danny Perez had some killer props to shoot with.

New Ital video from last year’s Hive Mind album, out through Planet Mu Records. One of the most influential albums of last year.

Not so sure about Azealia anymore, what has happened with XL? At least she knows how to manipulate the internet, which means – today at least – dropping a new video.
