Great new videos - My Brightest Diamond, Low, YACHT
Publicity photographs of My Brightest Diamond tend to be aesthetically conscious, and there is a similar intention in this video for “Magic Rabbit” by photographer Murat Eyuboglu. It’s primarily the slowness of it, but also the photographic quality and the way in which Shara Worden fits in perfectly that makes me really like it. Some of the imagery borders on being cliche, but the rest is refreshing, and the almost whimsical editing makes it work. Besides, this Alfred Brown remix of the song is pretty fantastic, and he’s got other good stuff on his myspace page.
More great new music videos after the jump.
It seems Low’s got a grand plan for videos. Not long after releasing one for “Belarus,” a third off Drums and Guns is out, and there’s a promise for more. This one’s for “Hatchet,” and is directed by animator Scott Bateman.
And I like the song “Belarus” a lot.
YACHT made a new video for “See a Penny (Pick It Up)” and it seems anything Jona Bechtolt does is fun. My favorite scene is the excited jump when the leading penny sees another penny.
ps. I couldn’t go to YACHT’s Webster Hall because I had to work late, late, but Jason Bergman has some photos.
