[Video] Parralox’s ‘Sharper Than a Knife’

Here’s the video for Australian SynthPop outfit Parralox’s Sharper Than A Knife, a tune that’s been around for a while now. The track has been reworked slightly for a new 2012 release.

In all honesty, we kinda’ prefer the original version, it’s a lot warner and more original. No-one needs to add circa 2007 Pop-Electro sounds to a track these days. Still, it’s awesome to see the track in video form.

The original of Sharper Than a Knife can be found on Parralox’s 2008 album Electricity.

[Video] Shiny Toy Guns’ ‘Somewhere To Hide’

Here’s the vide for LA Indie-Electro outfit Shiny Toy Guns’ Somewhere To Hide, one of the standout tracks from their recent III album, and excellent single material.

The clip is directed by Robby Starbuck, and it probably the best video from III to date. There’s a lot of cool Wonderland business going on, but for us the highlight is the back room/light up instruments bits.

Shiny Toy Gun’s III is out now.
