You can’t have missed Float Fall’s “Someday” a week or two ago, it’s been featured on many, many music blogs since we’ve posted it and now you can watch the visuals for the fantastic song above, directed by Feel Good Lost.
Devon Welsh alias Majical Cloudz returned with a truly terrific song titled “Childhood’s End” about a week ago, and today you can watch the visuals (directed by Emily Kai Bock) for the track above. This is what Welsh wanted to share on the video:
Emily and I have known each other for a long time, going back to the days of Lab.Synthese, which was the venue she lived in and ran with Sebastian Cowan, Alex Cowan and others. I have been a fan of her video work for a long time so I was thrilled that she was interested in collaborating with myself and Matt.
I have been present at two of her other video shoots (for Grimes’ “Oblivion” and Solar Year’s “Brotherhood”) so it was an unfortunate but ironic twist of fate that we were on tour during the filming of this video. As a result, some of the details of its production are a mystery to me, but it makes it all the more fascinating for me to watch. My sincere gratitude goes out to Emily, Bobby Shore and everyone else involved in the production. It’s a truly cinematic video and we are honoured to have our song as the soundtrack.
I’m also very grateful to have a video that features my father Kenneth Welsh, who is a very accomplished actor and who has spent decades acting for the stage, film & television. His career has been a long one but you may know him best from the television show Twin Peaks. His performance in the video is very moving and I’m mostly just really happy to be able to collaborate with him in some way (this is not the first time he has collaborated with Majical Cloudz, as he played the flute and trumpet on two early recordings back in 2010).
Matt and I are both really happy and excited about the positive reaction to “Childhood’s End”. It’s always a strange experience to make a deeply personal song and then release it into the world and play it for lots of different people during tours. Even though it gains a whole other significance by becoming part of who we are as a band, it still remains incredibly personal on some level. So it’s great that other people can get something out of it too!
I was going to write a whole other paragraph here offering my convoluted interpretation of the video and its relation to the narrative of the song, but then I realized: I’ve already written way too much!
Thanks!
This track flew into my inbox the other day, it’s the latest single by Danish indie-quartet The Rumour Said Fire called “The Oracle” — one hell of a track. The catchy synth-line and chorus will probably linger through my head all day. We simply can’t get enough of this stellar indie-track. Watch the in-studio video for the track above.
The Rumour Said Fire’s second album, titled Dead Ends, is set to be released June 10th via Believe.
Check out the fantastic video for White Blush’s “Juice Of My Heart” directed by Carol Rhyu (White Blush) herself. “Juice Of My Heart” is the closing track on her debut, self-titled EP released November of last year. You can find that right here.
(The official video has been set on private by White Blush. For now, you can listen to the song above until the video gets published.)
Check out the excellent music video for It is rain in my face.’s “Pagaul” directed by Devan Mulvaney. The song is taken from from the It is rain in my face. self titled debut LP which you can purchase right here on DZ Tapes.
Canadian duo Memoryhouse returns with a new song titled “Shades of Our Life”, to thank all of the fans for the brilliant year that 2012 was. The new song starts with a dreamy intro, continues in a great Memoryhouse-style and has a stellar chorus that already got stuck in my head after listening twice. Watch the beautiful visuals for the song, made by lead singer Denise Nouvion, above.
In Skeleton Lipstick’s latest video he pairs the oddly matching visuals from Jaap Drupsteen’s “Hyster Pulsatu” with his track “Twenty Something Criminal”. This catchy, synth driven track is available right here, along with the rest of his album, Glows Then Melts.
Watch the excellent visuals by filmmaker Scott Hammel for “Put Away” by San Francisco’s dream pop duo Seatraffic. The track is taken from the Crimes 7”, and you can order the 7” limited edition white vinyl right here.
Just found this over at Ja Ja Ja Music,”Can’t Win This” by Sweden’s 7-headed pop-ensemble Happy Hands Club. “Can’t Win This” is a brilliant song, with a great, The xx-sounding guitar and some catchy melodies. Apparently they’ve already released an album titled Parking Lot, released through Luxury. And to top it all, you can watch the visuals above.
