6 New Videos You Need To See

Each week we round-up the best (and worst) new music videos out there

With the advent of high-speed internet, we’re living in a bit of a golden age for the music video – but we’re also reaching a point where you see at least one of the bloody things every time you open your eyes.

The question is, how do you know which videos are stone cold classics and which are just dust in the wind of the World Wide Web?

As usual, we’re here to help! We’ve rounded up the most notable clips from the last seven days from the far-flung recesses of the internet.

Check them out after the drop.

2 Chainz – Watch Out

Director: Motion Family

All I can really see when I watch this video is Bratz dolls.

I’m not sure whether that’s a good or bad thing yet.

Let me, errm, get back to you on that.

PJ Harvey – The Wheel

Director: Seamus Murphy

PJ Harvey collaborated with director Seamus Murphy for her latest video. It was shot over a series of trips the pair to Kosovo to explore the country’s war-torn infrastructure and displaced population.

What they’ve returned with is a celebratory landscape shot of an overlooked corner of the world.

What a return it is.

Massive Attack – Take It There ft. Tricky

Director: Hiro Murai

The second big comeback in this week’s rundown comes from Bristolian trip-hop originators Massive Attack.

After a lengthy hiatus the band have returned with this moody visual for their track Take It There which features a guest spot from fellow Bristolian Tricky.

With a new EP under their belt and a slew of live dates lined-up expect big things from the Massive Attack camp in 2015.

ZAYN – Pillowtalk

Director: Bouha Kazmi

You’re so saucy now ZAYN.

Dirty Dishes – Guilty

Director: Sarah Zucker and Brian Griffith

New Yorkers Jenny Tuite and Alex Molini have been making cosmic, fuzzy rock music as Dirty Dishes for five years now so it’s about time they released a cosmic, fuzzy rock video.

The band have recruited the help of director duo Sarah Zucker and Brian Griffith, an alien and a very old camera to create something I think is a pretty accurate visual representation of their vibe.

Awful Records – Sorry For The Mess

Director: Alex Russell

In this typically cheerful short film from those DIY rap vampires at Awful Records you get a messy suicide, a reluctant clean-up and a Keithcharles Spacebar soundtrack all in the space of five minutes.

Wicked.
