Videodrome 78 – This week’s best videos

Welcome to our latest batch of freshly baked music video goods. This week features the likes of Julio Bashmore, Animal Collective, Fanuelle, Arnaud Rebotini and many more, so you better have a good reason for not reading on.

#1 Tara King th. – Magnetic Bounds, directed by Sebastien Tixier & Arnaud Boyer

To sum up what Tara King th. is all about I’ll give you a quote from their website: “psychedelic pop that conjures up spaghetti western delicatessen, future-gone-retro or acid rock from the early 70s”. Oh, and a little bit of Stereolab, of course.

“Black Orpheus” is from the Jesse Boykins III and MeLo-X collaboration album Zulu Guru. Somewhat entertaining.

#3 Animal Collective – Honeycomb, directed by Dawid Krepski

Another video entirely made of GIFs for yet another tune from the AC empire. Best not watch the video while having your lunch—I lost my appetite.
