[Video] The Knife’s ‘A Tooth For An Eye’

 

Following on from Full Of Fire, Swedish ElectroPop Experimentalists The Knife’s second new video from their forthcoming Shaking The Habitual album is A Tooth For An Eye. It’s an undulating avant-garde workout, blanketed in warm tones and percussion.

The video, challenging gender roles, was directed by Roxy Farhat and Kakan Hermansson, gets their point across whist managing to me both mysterious and funny.

A Tooth For An Eye is taken from The Knife’s forthcoming album, Shaking The Habitual, released 8th April,

[Video] Chvrches’ ‘Recover’

 

The UK’s ElectroPop saviours Chvrches’ new single, Recover, also sees their first proper music video, and what a music video it is.

A Sci-Fi epic, fitting for a SynthPop song, particularly one so majestic, the clip has hints of 2001, BladeRunner, and a lot of mysterious cubes. Amazing stuff.

Chvrches’ Recover is out now.

[Video] Glass Candy’s ‘The Possessed’

We posted Glass Candy’s new tune, The Possessed, a few days ago, being another tease of what to expect from Italians Do It Better’s forthcoming After Dark 2 compilation. Now here’s the video.

Directed, once again, by Alberto Rossini, features more footage in grainy video style. His old 8mm style works so well with Glass Candy’s music.

After Dark 2 will be out soon, with tracks from Glass Candy, Mirage, Desire, Farah, Twisted Wires, Appaloosa, Symmetry, and Chromatics.

[Video] Midnight Juggernauts

Cosmic trio Midnight Juggernauts are back and as spaced-out as ever. This is their new track Ballad Of The War Machine, five minutes of psychedelic synth noodling Indie bliss.

The video is fitted out to look like an old Soviet era Russian something or other. It;s a bit insane.

Midnight Juggernauts are set to release a new album in2013.

[Video] Hervé & Maria Minerva’s ‘Gold’

We really like the direction London bassmeister Hervé has taken with his new album. it;s great to see artists trying something a bit different and Hervé has put together 9 tracks of experimental, beautiful, moody compositions and collaborations. One of the standouts being his new single, featuring Maria Minerva, Gold.

Tim Kelly directs the video, with visuals as hypnotic and woozy as the track’s sonics.

Hervé’s Art Of Disappearing album is out 4th March on Cheap Thrills.

French ElectroPop outfit The Aikiu’s sweeping new single, Fools, was released this week. An involving SynthPop number with a Post-Punk twist.

Here’s the video, directed by Lisa Paclet. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as spooky as the strobed owl at the beginning suggests.

[Video] James Yuill’s ‘Turn Yourself Around’

Here’s the video for London SynthPopper James Yuill’s new single, Turn Yourself Around. An uplifting slice of ElectroPop goodness with a rough Electro riff and passionate vocals.

The clip, directed by Alex Emslie is inspired by the Greek myth of Sisyphus, condemned to futilely roll a massive boulder uphill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this action forever.

Turn Yourself Around is taken from Yuill’s forthcoming third album, These Spirits, which is released 18th March 18th on his own label The Happy Biscuit Club.
