A disturbing yet stylish video for Fever Ray’s new track “To The Moon And Back” by director Martin Falck.

Impressive (and outrageously bloody) claymation work by UK-based animator Lee Hardcastle for Mark Stoermer’s track “Filthy Apes and Lions.”

Shot at Enoshima beach in Kanagawa Prefecture and featuring competitive snare drummer Kaito Haruta, this is just one of the many stunning submissions we’ve received this week.

A wonderful little piece for Zurich University of the Arts by Barcelona-based artist Ferran Capo (previously featured here). Scripted, shot and edited in just 10 days, Capo describes the project as “visually very plastic.” As he further shared with us:

“The idea I got sent was ‘when worlds collide’ so I imagined a series of devices/set designs where different arts/actions would interact to create something new and surprising.”

Nicely stripped down video for The Fuzzy Crystals’ cover of “Ain’t Got No, I Got Life” co-directed by the band’s own Magdalene Herring and David Tourtellotte. Herring described the project to us as an expression of independence and “embrace of physical form.” While originally popularized by Nina Simone, Herring hopes their version adds a more uplifting feel as to her the song is about the permanence of the human body and the idea that “despite all the things we may not have, our soul can never be taken away.”
