Here are the latest videos we found and liked this week.

In no particular order this time…

Max Cooper’s Empyrean – directed by Joseph Murrell and I quote: “for the video, Joseph Murrell employed a different approach from my norm, creating sets and props to give an entirely real footage video rather than the usual CGI. He has reinterpreted the concept a little, with a circle of life format here, abstracted and sometimes cryptic, but all created with natural forms, and still tied to the original empyrean, but now on earth.”

Next – not one, but TWO newly released videos by Placebo for Hold on to Me (directed by Patrik Andersson) – a slow paced night video, a wandering woman:

and for Rob The Bank – a slow motion furious black & white studio video, trying to feature the pulse of the world right now, with scenes of street clashes, toxic marriages, poor kinds in the streets, disease, all signs of a fucked up world… but still, hope is not lost as we see in the last scene:

After Placebo’s gritty view of the world, we switch to some hip-hop videos…

First one, from Iggy Azalea for Fancy – a parody to all the 90s high-school teen movies.

The second one, by A$AP Ferg – lifted from the Trap Lord – Let It Go – a wack video featuring lots of street cred, ninjas, Terminator style graphics, explosions, lazers, you name it… all that just to save a ghetto queen of his.

And from the same grew, we have A$AP Rocky new video, released under his alter ego Lord FLVCKO, Riot Rave featuring Baauer. At the start of the video, a disclaimer indicates that the riot is real and it took place in all five boroughs of the city as a way to “blow off steam for all the youth, outsiders, outcasts, rejects, underdogs, and just straight up weirdo mother-fuckers.” The short clip comes as an introduction to Rocky’s forthcoming instrumental album Beauty N the Beast: Slowed Down Sessions Chapter yo!

From the US to the UK, we have another hip-hop/grime video of Trimbal performing Confidence Boost (Harmonimix) – the track is written and produced by none other than James Blake, with the video being directed by Rollo Jackson.

Next, the new & awesome video of St.Vincent performing Digital Witness, directed by Chino Moya:

And another beautiful performer, our favorite Lykke Li with a new video for Love Me Like I’m Not Made Of Stone – a slow video, featuring herself, a way more fragile state. Beautiful performance to go with the track.

We close this week selection with a saucy video produced by The Jullien Brothers for The Coward’s track Statues featuring funny animated illustrations of sex scenes. This one is almost NSFW, but give it a go anyway :P
