It's been a pretty dry past week for music videos, so today I've actually got, one live performance from Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck, a music video from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs one movie trailer from Animal Collective (yes, you read that right). Onward.
The Yeah Yeah Yeah's music video is for "Skeletons" off their newest album It's Blitz!. Just like the song title suggests, the video itself is otherworldly and a little creepy - the band are haunting a graveyard as either ghosts, angels, or demons. Apparently the director got the effect by projecting images of the band onto plumes of smoke.
Charlotte Gainsbourg recently released her new album IRM, which was awarded "Best New Music" by Pitchfork. Here, she and Beck, her collaborator for much of the album, stop by the famous California radio show "Morning Becomes Eclectic" to perform "Heaven Can Wait."
Finally, check out the trailer for the visual masterpiece by Animal Collective and director Danny Perez, which will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. It's 30 seconds of flashing lights, shifting colors and shapes, images of faces and a guy whose head is smoking running through the woods. I'm not sure what the plot line is (is there a plot line?), but I suggest the faint of heart do not see this movie under any type of influence...
