Regarding modern art and MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video

We here at Knox Road talk a lot about “weird,” “bizarre” or “crazy” music videos. I myself like to indulge in the modern art that music videos have now become in much the same way I would a Warhol or Dali painting. I like to observe it for what it is, and try not to… Continue reading Regarding modern art and MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video

Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”

The mysterious, under-two-minute song “Go Outside” by the equally mysterious and brief Cults now has a not-so-mysterious video! Phew! Some light is finally shed! For one, we know that whoever filmed the Cults video lives near an ocean with rocky shores and caves (narrowing it down!).

Letting Up Despite Great Faults releases charming teaser for new music video

Our friends Letting Up Despite Great Faults recently released a teaser to their much ballyhooed (…by us) upcoming music video for “Our Younger Noise”. It’s charming, enthralling, and VERY cute. Remember how I talked about their sound being perfect for films? And then I proceeded to describe my own made-up scene? Looks like my wish… Continue reading Letting Up Despite Great Faults releases charming teaser for new music video

Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video

Now THAT’S how you make weird music videos. Liars have just released the video for their single “Scissor” off upcoming album Sisterworld, and it’s just what we (at least I) wanted: a guy floating in a raft battling rocks that attack him from the depths of the ocean. Perfect! Does this video mean anything? Maybe.… Continue reading Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in “Scissor” video

Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams

[youtube width=”540″ height=”360″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPLy4-OgAw[/youtube] Huh? Ok, I like weird music videos as much as the next guy, but Shearwater’s video for “Hidden Lakes” gives off too much of a “This video MEANS something. We are 100 percent serious” vibe. The straw hat, HUGE eyelashes, eating something weird off the ground… it all just screams “metaphooorrrrrr….” But… Continue reading Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams

Massive Attack reveal a terrifyingly chrome future in “Splitting The Atom” video

If you thought the future was gonna be all under water, you were clearly very wrong. If you also thought it was going to be all safe and pleasant, you were also very wrong. Massive Attack shows us what I’m going to assume is our own future (because it’s more fun that way, ok?) in… Continue reading Massive Attack reveal a terrifyingly chrome future in “Splitting The Atom” video

[MP3+Video] Sunglasses: “Whiplash”

I Guess I’m Floating just posted “Whiplash” by Georgia duo Sunglasses, and I’m immediately smitten.

Seems like the whole Southeast is the place to… Continue reading [MP3+Video] Sunglasses: “Whiplash”
