ALB - The Road

This full animation music video directed by Julien Lassort (Solab Production, motion by ELMO) for French band ALB is a complete immersion in a dark perpetually evolving world. On the road we will move through a succession of black and white scenes, made of skulls, girl's thighs opening mechanically in rhythm, axes beating the ground loudly and other symbols of mankind passing on earth and their consequences on nature. At the end of the road, though, we find a touch of color and hope before a space ending

Tame Impala - Cause I'm a Man

"At the chorus, Parker repeats the phrase "I'm a man, woman," which could be construed as problematic. Reading those words out of context, it looks like he's using gender as a catch-all archetype. But as he sings in his tender, featherlight falsetto, he's not boasting about his masculinity—he's attempting to acknowledge that sometimes, he messes up just like anybody else." via Pitchfork

Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck - Heaven Can Wait

"Taken from the actress and singer’s critically acclaimed 2010 IRM album, which was produced and largely written by Beck, “Heaven Can Wait” is visually brought to life by a surreal cast of characters that includes a baby in a hotdog costume and an astronaut with pancakes for a head. Directed by Keith Schofield" via Nowness

Nicolas Jaar Creates Soundtrack to Sergei Parajanov's "The Color of Pomegranates" 1969

Mysterious are the ways of God especially when it comes to reveal a modern artist doing a cover work on another talent that passed away many years ago. The acclaimed New York-based musician Nicolas Jaar has uploaded a Soviet avant-garde film from 1969, called “The Color Of Pomegranates”, created by surrealistic director Sergei Parajanov (1924-1990) to Youtube along with his own original score. “The Color Of Pomegranates” is a biography of the Armenian ashug Sayat-Nova (King of Song) that attempts to reveal the poet's life visually and poetically rather than literally. Nicolas Jaar leveled up the whole story to the new surreal level by reworking the orginal sound with his soundtrack 'Pomegranates' (2015).BUT Nicolas is not the first to take over the original score, famous (by Matrix OST) musicians Juno Reactor did this a year ago. So get your extra hour of awesome visual and sound overdose here and below

“A the beginning of 2015 my friend Milo heard some of these songs and told me about the film. I watched it and was dumbfounded. I felt the aesthetic made complete sense with the strange themes I had been obsessed with over the past couple of years. I was curious to see what my songs sounded like when synced with the images, which turned into a 2-day bender where I soundtracked the entire film, creating a weird collage of the ambient music I had made over the last 2 years.

The film gave me a structure to follow and themes to stick to. It gave clarity to this music that was made mostly out of and through chaos. It also gave me the balls to put it out… I wanted to do some screenings but the guy who owns the rights to the film only wants the original version of the movie out there. I can’t blame him, I’m sure Paradjanov wouldn’t want some kid in NY pissing all over his masterpiece and calling it a soundtrack! I’ve listened to it a couple of times without watching the movie and I think it stands on its own. Or at least I hope it can!”

— Nicolas Jaar

Video was removed from the web, the only episode found:

““I was still living at my childhood home when I finished Pomegranates. On March 1st, I arrived in my new home and it was completely empty except for a baby tree. The owner was there to greet me and he asked me if I wanted to keep the baby tree because he had nowhere to put it and no one to give it to. I agreed to keep it and take care of it.

Before he left I asked him what kind of tree it was. He told me it’s a pomegranate tree. He had no idea I had just put this out!”

— Nicolas Jaar

Radiohead's "Creep" Reimagined in Plasticine

In a tiny dim studio, Brussels-based artist Olya Tsoraeva painstakingly created a mold of Thom Yorke’s face out of plasticine for her stop-motion film Plastic Crash, a work deeply rooted in Radiohead’s “Creep.” It took four months to get all of his features right, and an additional nine months to handcraft the animation. “I spent a year in darkness!” she tells The Creators Project.

“I wanted to give a new breath to this song because I still consider ‘Creep’ as one of the most beautiful songs,” says Tsoraeva. “I was really inspired by its music, especially by the lyrics.” The video begins with the definition of a perfectly-inelastic collision, a rare case when “two bodies stick together after impact," and then shows the singer's face surrounded by strange, intricate and colorful creatures that end up pulling him apart as the song builds.
