Double Portion Of Tasty Lemonade

Watch “Neptune” and listen to “Softkiss”

Lemonade are back at our door with a double feature. On one side, they're debuting a video for “Neptune”, the first advance track from their upcoming album, Diver”, due out on 29th May via True Panther. The camera shows a beautiful girl with yellow-painted nails (maybe a nod to the band name), in the shower. We also leave you with “Softkiss”, another track from the album.

MS MR's Audio-Visual Culture

The duo presents “Hurricane”, a video full of visual stimuli

Would you be able to condense every image that had an impact on your life in less than four minutes? New Yorkers MS MR try to, at least, in the video for “Hurricane”, with a string of images that go from films like “Edward Scissorhands” to vintage ads and clippings of audio-visual icons such as MTV. After pressing play, we understand perfectly why the duo likes to define their sound as “tumblr glitch pop”. If you like what you hear, you can download the track here, in exchange for your email address.

Geo-magnetic storms on “Toldyall”

In order to put images to “Toldyall”, the second cut from the recent “Memory” (Monkeytown, 2012) by Lazer Sword, Portuguese director Miguel Bidarra edited fragments of Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt's audiovisual “20 Hz” installation for the “Campos Invisibles” expo at the Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona. The images are the representation of a geo-magnetic storm in the upper atmosphere, and along with the San Francisco duo’s galactic composition, they make for a hypnotic experience, abstract and suggestive.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ Confetti Party

“American Dream Part II” will form a part of “Trouble”, his much-anticipated debut LP

Dressed up in his trusty Indian outfit, Orlando Higginbottom is showered in lovely confetti in the video to “American Dream Part II”, one of the songs that can be found on his much-anticipated debut album “Trouble”, on sale from the 11th June. Along the way, Higginbottom makes it clear that he can move in a variety of settings, jumping from the electro of this piece to more accessible pop things like the well-known “Tapes & Money”. The planets are aligning for the definitive take-off of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

Feist Has A Good Time In The Street

The Canadian performs her recent “Cicadas and Gulls” in the street, dance corps included

For the time being, we still don’t get to see Feist in concert in Spain. But if we had our druthers, we’d love to enjoy her performance in the middle of the street, unplanned, like in this video for “Cicadas and Gulls”. The Canadian and her entourage of singing ladies (the ones from Mountain Man) perform for pedestrians while two dancers from the Oakland troupe Turf Feinz provide just the right touch of weirdness. Leslie, earth angel.

John Cale Reconstructed By Tom Hall

Listen to the unusual audio-visual remix by the Californian artist

The remix by Californian audio-visual artist Tom Hall of “Catastrofuk” by John Cale wasn't on the juicy remix EP released on Record Store Day, because, besides its musical value, the reconstruction is audio-visual. Hall used a full synaesthesia process during which different parameters of the sound were controlled by a facial recognition program.

Nicki Minaj Lets Herself Be Loved

New video of “Right By My Side”, her track with Chris Brown

Press play and what do you see? No, it's not a corny Mariah Carey video from 20 years ago, it is Nicki Minaj’s new promo strategy to the tune of “Right By My Side”, her track with the morally dubious Chris Brown, who's working hard to clean up his image till it’s bright and shiny. Holding back more than usual, not showing off breasts and buttocks, the American lets her fake lover take care of her in this clip with a distinctly Sunday afternoon soap opera feel.
