3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
World went a bit crazy while waiting for Frank Ocean new album "Endless". His new performative release of "Rushes" lasts 45 minutes and directed inside of a saw-mill warehouse (?) but better read a full review on Pitchfork or listen it directly on iTunes Music
Earlier this summer, Arcade Fire’s Will Butler released a live album called Friday Night. It was recorded mostly at Chicago’s Lincoln Hall the previous June. The album has five new songs, including the title track, which now has a video. Watch it below. Directed by comedianJo Firestone, it stars Butler’s family and fast-forwards several years into the future. Friday Night is getting a vinyl release on September 9.
The album's first music video for "Fuck With Myself" found BANKS licking a mannequin replica of herself and lighting it on fire. Today, she reveals the second music video from the album, for "Gemini Feed." Directed by Philippa Price, the new clip is equally as highly stylized and sadomasochistic as the previous video, with numerous shots of the artist writhing around in ropes and leather masks amidst moody red lights.

Bongos, guitar and plenty of cowbell. New York electro-pop duo "Sofi Tukker" Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern embrace it all. Take “Drinkee”, their first-ever release. Inspired by Brazilian poet Chacal, it’s sung in Portuguese and is a hedonistic fusion of just about everything fun you’d want to hear on a dancefloor. The rest of Soft Animals follows its lead spectacularly.

"Massive Attack’s recent single “The Spoils” [ft. Hope Sandoval] now has a video. It stars Cate Blanchett, while John Hillcoat—known for helming The Road, Lawless, and The Proposition—directed. The video is an intricately lighted study of Blanchett’s face, which undergoes a slow, unnerving transformation." via Pitchfork

As you know DCN is always keen to listen new music or even create its own podcast (not update for some time). Our own exhibition was not left without music too. During Digital Decade opening night our event producers Youth Worldwide invited Ben Paul to heat up the night
Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Interpol’s Paul Banks recently teamed up to record an album as Banks & Steelz. Ahead of debut LP Anything But Words, which is out August 28, they’ve dropped a handful of singles—“Speedway Sonora,” “Love + War,” and “Giant”—and now they’ve shared the “Giant” music video. Directed by Wendy Morgan, the video sees the pair wandering through back-alleys and abandoned homes as they perform the song. Watch it below.
The electronic duo Is back, as brooding as ever, and elevating their visuals to new heights. Filmed in the Salton Sea, long since dried up, the video sees band members Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter walk amongst deserted homes as motocross bikers fly through the air and digitized waves reach epic heights. There's also plenty of unexplained latex involved. The music video's dark undertones come courtesy of director Grant Singer, who has spent the last year working with The Weeknd and Ariana Grande.
"You Don't Get Me High Anymore" is the lead single off Phantogram's forthcoming album, Three.
During one of my creative talks at a festival I was faced with a question "Why there is no female motion artists featured in your mashup?", being a feminist I was so much frustrated with this awkward moment of saluting male-generated industry. Bless we have projects like GIF (Girls in Film) we I spotted freshly done music video produced by James Blake for TRIM and directed by ultra talented London-based artist Natalia Stuyk (previously)
