Leodoris’ ‘What If?’ video

Leodoris are a Danish eclectic ElectroPop duo, consisting of Kristian Rix and Erikka Bahnsen, who are about to release their What If? EP. Here’s the video for the lead track.

Andreas Waldschütz directed this glamorous peice of anti-glamour. The track and the video work really well together. Someone needs to give vocalist Erikka a burger though.

What If? is released 13th August.

CHEW LiPS’ ‘Hurricane’ video

CHEW LiPS’ new single, Hurricane, get’s the video treatment. The best of the new CHEW LiPS material so far deserved a clip. And it got one. That’s justice for you.

Set against some nice urban decay, the video the band mucking about it a warehouse, showing off what they do best. Perform.

Hurricane is released 3rd September

Queen Of Hearts & Kissy Sell Out’s ‘You’re Not The One’ video

According to San City Records this is the official video for Kissy Sell Out’s Queen Of Hearts featuring You’re Not The One. There’s so much wrong with that.

1. The video is only 2m30s, with is shorter even than the radio rip we posted a while back. 2. Queen Of Hearts isn’t in it, which is a shame as she is infinitely easier on the eye than Mr. Sell Out as well as having an enigmatic video presence. 3. Mr. Sell Out is chatting over most of it, which makes it feel like self-congratulatory ego stroking rather than promoting a new tune, you barely get to hear the new record in the clip.

We hope that San City are a little optimistic when they say ‘official video’, and they pull their fingers out and make something proper, otherwise the words “dropped the ball” might be in order. It’s a really cool tune that deserves better promotion than this mess. The only reason we’re featuring it at all is because we highly recommend the track itself.

Despite the video saying ‘out now’, You’re Not The One is released 3rd September as the first of a series of EPs featuring Kissy collaborating with a host of fresh and established talent.

Churches’ ‘Lies’ video

Here’s the new video from Scottish ElectroPop hopefuls ChurchesLies. A track we were sure would have been released by now.

It’s a nicely shot bit of footage from a gig at Glasgow Art School that works well as a video for this Minimal Synth/rapturous Pop line-walker.

Goin’ Old School: Chic, EMF & Break Machine

Goin’ Old School isn’t a trip down music memory lane, it’s a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia:

The funky as hell Hangin’ (falsely titled Hangin’ Out here) from the legendary Chic in 1982.

In 1989 EMF mashed up Pop, Indie, House, ElectroPop and Hip Hop with their breakthrough Unbelievable. Derry was an inspiration to keyboard players everywhere.

Almost completely copying their first hit Street Dance, Here’s Break Machine’s hilarious follow up, Break Dance Party, from 1984.

The Knocks & Fred Falke’s ‘Geronimo’ video

Boom! That’s the sound of one of the biggest tunes of the year, The Knocks & Fred Falke’s Geronimo, getting a video.

Geronimo is out now on Beatport and available everywhere else on 23rd July.

Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Winner’ video

This is the video for Pet Shop Boys’ new single Winner. An epic SynthPop tune that is, completely coincidentally, about winning stuff, just in time for the Olympics.

Timing cynicism aside, this is the kind of thing only Pet Shop Boys can get away with. And Roller Derby would make a much better Olympic sport than running fast or throwing stuff. All inclusive too!

Winner is released on 6thAugust.
