Video Vault – Bic Runga
Bic Runga’s 4th full album Belle arrived at the end of 2011 but hasn’t made it to UK shores. Still, everyone can get it on digital download and this time things are more upbeat! Welcome to Hello, Hello!
Video Vault – Derek Bishop
Always fun and complete with a cap, Derek Bishop’s latest video is for “Why Hold On”, a bluesy honky tonk tumble through the leaves from his album Resistance is Beautiful.
Video Vault – Genki Rockets
Whilst lapping up every second of Child of Eden, I have fallen head over heels for this song to the point where I’ve now bought their albums.
Video Vault – Secret Skwirl
A rather funktastic psychedelic rock band with an awesome name if ever there was one!
Video Vault – Gregory Douglass
Gregory Douglass returns with a new album “Remixed” featuring fresh takes on old songs. Here is the stirring music video to “American City”
Video Vault – Sheri Miller
Sheri Miller returns with the cute single “Spoons” complete with ultra cute video! This comes from her EP “Winning Hand”
Video Vault – Imogen Heap
Second part of today’s double bill is the video to the fantastic “Neglected Space” which is the best spoken monologue committed to music.
Video Vault – Down the Machine
Featured as a new band a few weeks ago UK based rockers Down the Machine return with a new single “Know Your Place”. A perfect blend of adult rock and infectious chords that roll and roll, it’s an excellent introduction to a band that’s certainly on the rise!
Introducing… Derek Bishop
Derek Bishop is a new singer/songwriter that has blooped onto my radar of late. Reminding of the absolutely fantastic Keyth Lawrence and the Purple Circle, Derek weaves a lot of keyboard and piano work through insanely catchy pop/rock tracks with big choruses that while they are immediate, have a lot of depth underneath. What I like most about the songs are that they never sit still – the instrumentation swaps, chops and changes from verse to chorus to bridge to interlude and back again. It keeps everything fresh and interesting from the first to the last note.
We hope to featuring more of Derek later on but for now here’s his debut single “The Last Word”.
Video Vault – Team Genius
Team Genius’ new single Ronald Regan’s Cousin has a rather fabulous music video. Grab your streamers and get down!
Introducing… Jane Lui
Wow. I came across Jane Lui’s music via a completely different persons PR company and I am in awe. In a similar vein to Imogen Heap but keeping the sounds organic, Jane turns flicking pages in a book into a drum roll. This type of music is very close to my heart as I too use a liquid cooler bottle as a drum sometimes and the music video is beautifully done.
Looks like she’s come to Europe too. Wehey!
Video Vault – Bjork
Bjork’s new PV for “Moon” is almost as a beautiful as the song itself which starts out very abstract and develops into something rather special. Biophilia is out next month.
Video Vault – St Vincent
This is “Cruel” from the new album “Strange Mercy” which came out this week. St Vincent’s sure on a winner with this twisted track (and twisted video)
Video Vault – Tori Amos’ “Carry”
Freshly released today, “Carry” is absolutely beautiful and if you share it via her facebook you’ll get a treat with “Shattered Sea” too. If you can’t wait that long – click below! Night of the Hunters is out 19th September and I for one cannot wait.
Video Vault – Omodaka
Omodaka released his new album today “Sanosa” which you can buy via iTunes and HearJapan. I absolutely love the merger of chiptune and traditional vocal and this is so uniquely beautiful it must be spread love. This is called “Plum Song”
Video Vault – Ladytron
Ladytron’s new album Gravity the Seducer is released 12/09/11 and this is the latest video “White Elephant”
Video Vault – Bjork
Crystalline is the new video for Bjork and its directed by Mr Gondry. How could it go wrong?!
