When I move to New York in just over a month (that’s 5 weeks, 37 days, and too many hours for my atrophied postgrad mind to calculate), I sincerely hope a scary bellhop doesn’t creep into my bedroom every night and gradually slice my skin with a scalpel while I sleep. As nervous as I am for the big move, I never had this particular worry until watching Caveman’s video for “In The City,” the first single off their self-titled LP. The clip features Fran Kranz and Save The Last Dance star Julia Stiles who play the part of a couple on a romantic tour of NYC, a trip interrupted by an unexplained knife-happy hotel worker. Just when we thought the city was getting safer…I blame Bloomberg. Watch it above.

Holy Ghost! have given us a sneak peek of LP #2 with a simple, beautiful video for their latest single “Dumb Disco Ideas.” Alex and Nick treat us to an eight minute epic of pure disco glory whose sound epitomizes the DFA aesthetic; tight, boozy grooves build and grow as the sun descends behind the towering modular synths and the New York City skyline. Like the City, the music never sleeps; it pulses through the night and greets the rising sun with a crescendo of bustling sounds and harmonizing voices.

If you were wise enough to catch their live set at Sweetlife, give yourself a pat on the back. If you missed out then be sure to catch the duo live on their tour with New Order this summer so you, too, can bask in the chocolatey glory of live disco.

As the release of his debut Aesthetics EP nears, Bipolar Sunshine has decided to release a video for his head-turning single “Rivers.” Matching the soul-bearing lyrics of the track, the video finds this rising Manchester artist on an introspective journey through an abandoned industrial park. Watch it above.

Bipolar Sunshine’s Aesthetics EP comes out June 17th.

Young Summer is DC’s own Bobbie Allen. I recently got the chance to watch the Virginia Tech alum open for BOY at Jammin’ Java and what I saw were the makings of someone with a bright future. Bobbie’s voice is something quite special, so much so that it’s been compared to both Florence Welch and Sarah McLachlan. Not bad company at all. Her talents, coupled with honest songwriting, are what will resonate with listeners and keep them coming back for more. In “Fever Dream,” we get Bobbie’s alluring alto over music that would feel at home on the Drive Soundtrack. Above you can check out the video for “Fever Dream,” which will leave you craving those beachside summer nights.

Queens of the Stone Age have just released a 1:50 minute animated video preview for “Kalopsia,” the second such release from their upcoming album … Like Clockwork. “Kalopsia,” which features a vocal spot from Trent Reznor, picks up where the first release “I Appear Missing” left off but follows new characters in a menacing post-apocalyptic setting. The track is dreary and haunting until about 1:20, when it kicks into true QOTSA heavy gear. Watch it above.

Keep an eye out for …Like Clockwork, which also features a celebrity contribution from Elton John, due out June 3rd via Matador.

I don’t know about you, but I could use a little more soul music these days. Wait – make that a lot more soul. Moko delivers plenty of it in her video for “Hand On Heart.” Bringing it back to the barber shop, the London songstress breaks it down with some hot moves as the kids get their high fades. They might not look too impressed, but I certainly am. Be sure to keep an eye out for this 21 year old. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more of her.

Danish songstress MØ returns with “Waste Of Time,” her first single since signing to RCA Victor. Debuting earlier today on Zane Lowe, the track continues in the same alt-pop vein as previous singles “Maiden” and “Pilgrim.” Watch it via an unofficial video of sorts above.

“Waste Of Time” will see official release on June 7th via RCA Victor/Chess Club.

Not long ago we introduced you all to MMX and their chill-inducing track “Stay.” Today we’re premiering the video for “Ritual,” another track off their phenomenal debut EP, Child. Like “Stay,” “Ritual” impresses as it builds, beginning softly with a pulsating synth line before blossoming into a stunning amalgam of keys, guitars and Ashley Wilkie’s first-class vocals. The video matches the track well, stringing together monochrome shots of the band to spectacular effect. Watch it above and study up on MMX. You’re going to want to know about these guys.

Those of you in the UK can catch MMX on tour this June. Dates after the jump.

Kostroma is a Russian district located 400 kilometres north-east of Moscow. The small village of Karavaeva, located on the outskirts of the region, is known for its ethnic dance traditions that date back many centuries. What they are not known for is having a strong internet connection; it’s rather unlikely they’ve streamed the Daft Punk album or are all caught up on Game of Thrones. So imagine one documentary crew’s astonishment when they decided to dance to Electric Guest‘s “This Head I Hold” for their first ever Youtube documented performance. Check out the result above in what the band has adopted as their second music video for the track.

Directors Jeb Hardwick, Trewin Howard and Thom Novi were faced with a monumental task when creating a video for Phoria‘s “Red.” How does one create a visual worthy of such a magnificently beautiful song? With incredible vocals, pristine piano arrangements and perfectly placed spoken-word samples, these six minutes are only deserving of the best. Well, long story short, they did. The sentiment and emotion that oozes out of the audio version of “Red” is tastefully translated into a captivating collection of moving pictures. Watch it above.
