NEW RELEASE: Liars "There's Always Room..."

Liars Liars
"There's Always Room On The Broom" (Mute)

Brett Snider & Billy Federighi, director | Brett Snider & Dani Dufresne, producer | Chris Nicsinger, DP | Brett Snider, editor | Description: A witch lures an unsuspecting young man into her lair at a bizarre, old-time Hollywood hotel in this Liars video, which has been steadily drawing eyeballs online over the past few months. Also populating this strange video are the  bellhops and hotel guests — who all move in herky-jerky movements to the beat — and a special Liars pep squad. -- watch "There's Always Room On The Broom" (ifilm link)

NEW RELEASE: Jose Gonzalez "Stay In The Shade"

Stay In The Shade Jose Gonzalez
"Stay In The Shade" (Mute)

Elias Araya, director | Description: Swedish singer/songwriter Jose Gonzalez conjures the ghost of Nick Drake with this haunting acoustic song about fading away into nothingness. The simple and repetitive sketched-on-paper animated video brings the artwork of his album Veneer to life. Much like the song's achingly beautiful tone provides some shelter for the despondent lyrics, this video has some whimsical child-like elements that never fully obscures the fact that it's all about war, destruction and death. -- watch "Stay In The Shade"
