Villagers
There is something magical and charming about Villagers’ music. Live, they serve it up like a polite and genuine gift. This video manages to hint a little at both. The craft of this video, much like the music, is in the details; how the shadow of him carries the backing vocals or how the lit up designs reflect the emotion of the moment. Very well done. They’ll be back in Philly on November 1st at Kungfu Necktie. You’ve got your tickets right?

Parlovr
I. Love. This. Video. Next time I have a shit load of fire works, streamers and balloons I may very well gather my friends and do something very similar. No camera necessary but stellar soundtrack -on par with Parlovr’s “pen To Paper” a must.

Dead Man’s Bones
PA PA POWER – DEAD MANS BONES from Noaz Deshe on Vimeo.
Technically this isn’t a music video, it’s a short film featuring Dead Man’s Bones & their single Pa Pa Power. It is shot in an assisted living facility and is a testament to the power music has to unite people and put a smile on their faces. As if that doesn’t sell you on watching all 11 plus minutes of this video then let me remind you that Dead Man’s Bones is Ryan Gosling’s band. This video also made me realize how very much I like this song.
