BEST INDIE MUSIC VIDEOS - WEEK 3 2014

1/14/14

It’s that time of the week again when we’re about to flip your reality on its head and feed it a good old dose of the best music videos in town. Things are going to get weird, I can promise you that!  Wow wierd?  Well, probably one of the defining attributes we consider in adding a video to column is just how strange it is.  But not just strange but artful strange.  Wonderous strange?  Wouldn't you like some "strange" right now (hehe) so then let's get started.   

 

SURFER BLOOD – SAY YES TO ME

Florida natives Surfer Blood shot this video in one night at their favorite diners. They shot the rest of it in their mom’s guest room. Now that’s rock and roll! Watch, enjoy and try not to trip your balls off.

 

GLASSER – SHAPE

Sometimes augmented reality videos can look really shit. This isn’t one of those times! But it does make me wish that things in real life were more liquid-like. Imagine how all those bitches in heels would bail. HA! 

A bunch of YouTube’s finest idiots complained that this video looks like something made on Windows ’95. Well, that’s the point, geniuses!

 

ART DEPARTMENT – SUN COMES UP

This video is pretty literal, which is exactly how I like my videos. So all you hipster who like hidden meanings, abstract concepts and mysterious bullshit in your indie music videos, you can all suck it, because this is one of the most creative and captivating videos I’ve seen, like ever. And I watch a lot of shit of YouTube.

 

DEVO – WHIP IT

I bet you didn’t see this one coming! We like to throw in some classics every now and again, and this one’s about to educate you fools that think retro music is Justin Bieber’s first album. Let’s revive this crazy dance revolution. I swear your parents will love it!

 

HELLOGOODBYE – (EVERYTHING IS) DEBATABLE

Sometimes I feel like I’m floating above the ground, but then I realize that my sleeping pills expired like 2 years ago. Although Hellogoodbye expired years before the pills I take did, they still know how to make pretty cool music videos. Just saying!

 

FEMME EN FOURRURE – THE BEACH

This is what Nico would look like if she was a hipster in 2014. These Finnish weirdoes are making some pretty decent tunes, along with music videos that are sexier than the babes in them. 

 

WILD BEASTS – WANDERLUST

Is this the new Nike ad? No, it’s just a new music video from the UK’s own Wild Beasts. Who knew watching a bunch of unhappy people running could be so damn entertaining?! I like when everyone multiplies and things get all psychedelic. Groovy, man! Now say “fuck” some more. I like that!

 

FAUL & WAD AD VS. PNAU – CHANGES

Being a kid is weird. The most important things in your life are the most trivial when you’re a kid. Like gender rivalry. Oh, wait. We still care about that. GIRLS RULE, BOYS DROOL! Now take that as a life lesson, kids and never, ever forget it.

Now that we’ve adequately distracted you from all that’s real and true and good, it’s time to go back to the real world, or at least, your Facebook newsfeed. And seeing as you’re there already, why don’t you give this post a share, or whatever. We don’t really care if you read our stuff. OK, we do, we do, we do. We love you. Please don’t leave us. Ever! Kisses x x

About Bianca Fernandes

Bianca Fernandes has an unfounded love for Taylor Swift and an unexplainable, burning hatred for Bob Dylan. In her opinion, that's the perfect combination to be a music reviewer. And she doesn't give an F about what you have to say about it. She writes for one person, and that's herself. Think grumpy cat with a weakness for music and watching Miley Cyrus twerk. But she does other things simply for cash, like social media, web content creation and some crazy blogging when necessary.
