Discover this week’s music videos of the week after the break, with Illangelo, Little Dragon, and Austra.
1. Illangelo – Clockwork feat. Phlo Finister
Illangelo, a Bromance Records signee, lays emphasis on cinematic and visually appealing concepts in his music. The video for single ‘Clockwork’ (ft. Phlo Finister) makes no difference in this. The setting is minimal, black and white, and futuristic – inspired by artist James Turell. Directed by L.A. filmmaker Lance Drake, the result is an optical illusory galaxy.
2. Little Dragon – Pretty Girls
The video for Little Dragon’s ‘Pretty Girls’ takes us to a cartel-sponsored beauty pageant; its universe directed by Nabil, the current reigning visionary in the music video field.
3. Austra – Hulluu
Last week Austra, the electro-brooders from Toronto, released a new EP with the title Habitat. The music video for ‘Hulluu’, a menacing and whispery track, is an experimental dance performance set against a plain black background with a trippy in-camera effects.
