MONDAY MUSIC: SON LUX

This week’s top marks for effort go out to Son Lux, who have just released their new album Bones, for the painstaking stop motion video using nothing but pins and thread for their current single Change is Everything. I, in the meantime, am a little confused by the fact that the singer is male…

MONDAY MUSIC: BJÖRK

We posted the trailer for this a few months ago – before Björk’s exhibition at MoMA was shredded into a tousand pieces – and here is finally the real thing: her 10 minute video of Black Lake conceived especially for the show, special effects galore.

MONDAY MUSIC: TERRE THAEMLITZ

Unsurprisingly, there are no ‘official’ videos for our current cover star Terre Thaemlitz (or hardly any videos at all, for that matter), so instead we’ll post a ‘fan video’ made for the 2003 track Welcome (Time has Left Us).

MONDAY MUSIC: JAMIE XX

As Jamie XX is gearing up to release his solo album this summer, a look back to one of the tracks, Sleep Sound, and its wonderful video by artist Sofia Mattioli dancing along with deaf children.

MONDAY MUSIC: IBEYI

French-Cuban twin sisters Ibeyi are all the rage these days, and nicely so.

MONDAY MUSIC: DASHA RUSH

As Dasha Rush is about to release her first album with our friends at Raster-Noton, aptly titled Sleepstep, a look back at the mesmerising Ocean Shy.
