Bright Light Bright Light’s new video

Now signed to PopJustice’s PopJustice Hi-Fi label, the amazing Bright Light Bright Light can have proper videos and everything!

And, flipping hell, is his new single, ‘Love Part II’ good or what? It’s proper electronic Power Pop. I’ll say that again, it’s PROPER ELECTRONIC POWER POP! Right? I always said he was a good songwriter, bit this track exceeds every expectation. Remember how powerful Pop was in the 80’s?, how you would get chills when the chorus kicked in? That’s what we’re talking about here.

The video is cool too, nicely shot and full of angular abstractness, as all good videos should.

Did I mention we quite like this here?

‘Love Part II’, Bright Light Bright Light’s début single is released 12th September, until then your MySpace love is required:

iamamiwhoami’s ‘y’

iamamiwhoami (i.e. defiantly Jonna Lee now) have mostly stopped being mysterious, except with their releases (a succession of one track singles). It’s probably time for a proper release.

It would be welcome to, their latest track ‘y’ and it’s accompanying video are both things of beauty, like a head on collision between The Knife and Kate Bush.

‘y’ is out…y’know, whenever…some other tracks are out there though, all with single letter titles.

‘Smoke & Mirrors’ video from Ali Love

Ali Love’s awesome single ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ was released last week and, thankfully, it’s now got itself a video.

The ElectroPop goodness is now accompanied by visuals the feature not only smoke…but mirrors too!

the whole thing looks pretty slick though, and works well with the track.

‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is out now, Ali’s forthcoming album, ‘Love Harder’ should be dropping in August.

Chromeo’s ‘Don’t Turn The Lights On’ video

Chromeo have premiered the video for their smooth-as-silk new single ‘Don’t Turn The Light’s On’ and it’s a pretty creepy looking clip, all eyes and teeth!

Directed by Keith Schofield the video has a weird 80’s crazies thing going on with some pretty humorous moments. Check it out:

‘Don’t Turn The Lights On’ is out this week and taken from the album ‘Business Casual’ which is released 14th September. You can pre-order the album here.

Russ Chimes’ EP trailer!

Seems like it’s been forever waiting for Russ Chimes’s début EP to be released, but now, judging from the EP teaser he’s premiered, it looks like not only do we get an EP, but possibly a mini-movie too!

I do love music videos that tell a story!

The music sounds as top quality as we’d expect from Mr. Chimes too.

the more I watch the video the more exited I get about this release, both musically, and now, visually too!

Robyn’s new video

Oh look, Robyn’s doing something badass again!

Heh, the official video for the forthcoming ‘Hang With Me’ single has premiered, and although it’s pretty much just following Robyn and her crew around on promotional tours it’s really nicely shot and seems to work amazingly well with the song, which is a sweet, uplifting, SynthPop ballad.

‘Hang With Me’ is taken from the ‘Body Talk Pt. 2’ album and is out 5th September.

Grum’s ‘Through The Night’ video

The Toto sampling ‘Through The Night’ is one of my favourite tracks on Grum’s début long player.

Now it’s got a video, and it’s pretty hilarious.

Just watch:

The single should be out soon, expect remixes from The Swiss, Tom De Neef, Perseus and Grum himself.

HURTS new ‘Wonderful Life’ video

HURTS have just premiered the new video for the single release of ‘Wonderful Life’ and it’s pretty funny.

In a massive self-referencing in-joke the video appears to be a wake, morning the loss of the crazy dancing lady from the original ‘Wonderful Life’ video, complete with a troupe of veiled dancing girls replicating her moves.
