This week’s music videos are courtesy of Interpol, Digitalism and Angus & Julia Stone. Discover them after the break.

1.Interpol – All The Rage Back Home

The New York post-punk heroes of Interpol have shared the first official music video for their upcoming album ‘El Pintor’. ‘All The Rage Back Home’ opens that new record and comes with a stylish black and white video that mixes a performance of the band with images of surfers, set to a powerful tune. The group’s first new album in four years will see its release on September 9th.

2. Digitalism ft. Young Blood – Wolves

The video for Digitalism’s ‘Wolves’ has been directed by Nelson de Castro (who won the Saatchi & Saatchi Music Video Challenge for OK Go’s ‘I’m Not Through’) and has a similar vibe to it as those stereoscopic animated gifs that are all over Tumblr; only these zoom in and out.

3. Angus & Julia Stone – A Heartbreak

After having conquered the stage separately, siblings Angus & Julia Stone are now coming back with a new collaborative self-titled album. ‘A Heartbreak’, one of the first singles, comes with a sultry video which received a grungy, indie treatment with scenes from a house party – juxtaposed with road trip montages.  In the music video, Angus and Julia are seen performing in a crowded room as couples dance, kiss and drink at a party flashing with fairy lights.

“That was one of the first songs we wrote together,” said Julia of the duo’s new single. “I remember this friend of mine took me to meet his middle-aged parents, and they were lying on the floor when I got to the house, rolling around like kids in love. That’s where we got the first line of the song.”

As for the video, which features some beautifully-shot party scenes, Julia explained to the New York Times, “The director went around to clubs and bars in LA and approached young adults and said, ‘Do you want to come to a video shoot?’ We had to put on a proper show because all these kids showed up. Everyone was drinking. It ended up being a really fun night. The kids really got into it.”
