V+I+D+E+O+S=?

I like the video for Atlas, it features mirrors and a whole lot of instruments. But I'd rather seen this song without a video and especially not in an edited video version. Worst spoiling of a song on a video this year, I'm afraid.

Battles - Atlas


I know I've posted this October 3 (here!) but it's definitely worth another feature since I have just written about the album. The half-animated video features some funny figures surfing, among them Death, as a reference to the title. Wonderful video, just like the song!

Mando Diao - If I Don't Live Today, Then I Might Be Here Tomorrow


This is what it looks like when Battles play their mind-blowing music. Unfortunately the stage performance isn't half as interesting as the music itself. But it sounds really good.

Battles - Tonto (Live clip)


The Tonto video is an amazing collaboration with UVA (United Visual Artists). In cold blue and grey colours they have created a light show with fluorescent lamps reacting to the music. It's like a minimalistic Speed Of Sound video. And thank God (if there is one, or more) they didn't shorten it. More long music videos to the people!
