video: wild flag – electric band (2011)

[vodpod id=Video.15599507&w=425&h=350&fv=]

it’s all bad news bears for wild flag in their latest baseball-themed video for the retrofied “electric band” from the band’s self titled debut album.

right field can be a lonely island, but for singer-guitarist mary timony, it’s where you can show what you’re made of. happy endings for all!

[vodpod id=Video.15503800&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

the good news is that the new fun. album is complete. the bad news is that they don’t know when it’s coming out. from prior statements, i still wouldn’t count on it coming out this year. anyway, new song performed acoustic and it sounds just fantastic.

[vodpod id=Video.15483317&w=425&h=350&fv=]

if there’s something we love here at weworemasks, it’s a music video comprised of a single, continuous shot. even more so when it features the lady adele. watch adele walk the somber streets of paris in a zippy-chic coat in her new video for “someone like you” from her superb album 21.

from their latest release la liberacion, css have a new video for the reggae-pop “hits me like a rock.” the video features multiple dance tutorials to get to yourself moving when the band swings though your town on their national tour, which is said to feature lip synching drag queens due to the band’s love of rupaul’s drag race. no seriously.

dates can be found after the jump. always rage.

video: holy ghost – hold my breath (2011)

[vodpod id=Video.15464208&w=425&h=350&fv=]

do you miss slideshows? family and friends sharing slide after insufferable slide of their mundane vacations and artificial smiles?

thankfully if you’re holy ghost!, your slideshows are pretty damn impresive, featuring cameos from the dfa family, lcd soundsystem, neon indian and a chromeo or two. catch the slideshow/video for “hold my breath” off the band’s self-titled lp.

[vodpod id=Video.15440162&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

unknown mortal orchestra have got an incredibly low budget video for their song “ffunny friends” off their self-titled album. despite the cut-rate smoke and camera effects, the video is pretty brilliant at matching the scattershot tone of the song.

video: summer camp – better off without you (2011)

[vodpod id=Video.15399128&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

beach-twee lives!

for summer camp’s new, split-screen video for “better off without you,” the 70′s are revived in the form of a teenage joyride as the duo rock out on a fender mustang and a um, glass of water. i especially like the way elizabeth sankey seems to sneer out certain lyrics. it’s all about attitude.
