Video Of The Day: Slim Twig's "Priscilla"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 28, 2011 4:00 pm
Slim Twig's clip for "Priscilla" is equal parts The Doors, Elvis and Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's basically one long, extended shot of the quiffed Toronto rocker sitting next to two chanting females... and as the camera pulls back, sparklers and the track's namesake. "Priscilla" will appear on a single Slim Twig's releasing Aug. 16.

OK Go have released yet another amazing video, this time for "All Is Not Lost." They're all wearing matching jumpsuits, dancing on top of glass. The result is that they look like frogs, bugs... and something on the inside of a kaleidoscope. Check out these other OK Go videos on CHARTattack:"Last Leaf" "White Knuckles" "WTF?"

Cat's Eyes' video for "Face In The Crowd" is half trippy psychedelia and half creepy gothic darkness.I'm pretty sure if I were effed on acid or stoned while watching this, I'd probably go out of my mind. The geometric shapes flying at the camera are mesmerizing, and the multiple Faris Badwans and Rachel Zeffiras streaming out of each others'...

Art Brut's video for Brilliant! Tragic!'s "Lost Weekend" features tons of people who look genuinely... out of it. Even the band look confused. The woman stripping seems out of place, Eddie Argos doesn't understand anything going on around him and the women in masks... are just weird. I bet not even John Lennon's "Lost Weekend" looked like this...

This video isn't for the queasy or, um, vegetarians who are offended by the presence of meat. In the clip for "Future Hearts," Young Widows' Evan Patterson walks around with blood all over his face while someone's sinisterly sewing pieces of raw meat together in another shot. I'm not even sure what's going on here, but it's something creepy and...

Fruit Bats are back with a new album called Tripper that comes out Aug. 2. The video for its first single is like what would happen if you mixed the Bee Gees, Hall & Oates, Chromeo and Scissor Sisters in a punch bowl.Eric D. Johnson's falsetto makes him sound like a dead ringer for Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, while the business casual...

Be careful the next time you cut open a Christmas turkey — there could be some kind of creature inside that's half like something out of Alien and half like an evil pink Big Bird that makes relatives make out with each other. That's at least the case in this video from Paris' Gentlemen Drivers, where a guy loses his hands cutting a Christmas...

If the world goes to shit and the apocalypse actually arrives, I don't know if I want to be around a group of maladjusted kids when it gets here. Or maybe that's just because I just watched this Foster The People video, in which kids kidnap adults, smash cars, stuff food into their faces and generally terrify everyone. I didn't think anything...

I know this video was probably shot in front of a green screen with the "bike" (which is actually just a fake one) in the same place the entire time with a giant fan in front of it, but regardless: wear a helmet. I don't care if you're skateboarding, motorcycling, bicycling or rollerblading. Wear a fucking helmet. Or your head will end up like...

The Black Lips are high-flying, instrument-wielding superheroes in their video for "New Direction," which finds Jared Swilley, Cole Alexander, Ian Saint Pe and Joe Bradley goofing off in front of a blue screen. There's beer-spitting, jumping, gobs falling from the sky and, um, floating amplifiers. "New Direction" appears on the recently released...

That's what Peelander-Z have done here. Oh, my gawd, I miss dangling wool in front of my kitteh and having him go insane-o over it. "Mad Tiger" appears on...

They're freaking out over dropping groceries, being unable to assemble furniture, getting parking tickets and being inept at ironing or whatever else white dudes have to cry about, I guess.

They say your life flashes before you just prior to your death. DANIELS used that idea for Manchester Orchestra's clip for Simple Math's title track. In it, frontman Andy Hull falls asleep while driving, wakes up, and skids to avoid a deer in the road. The car rolls, and while Game Boys and debris are flying all over his crashing SUV, memories...

Wiley sounds exactly like Dizzee... the lines might be blurring in your head because they were both members of Roll Deep earlier in their careers.
