Crystal Fighters - You & I (official video)

image

“You & I” was my nomination for “Happiest Song of the Year,” but now I’m just trying not to associate it with (spoiler alert) trees and birds getting blown to bits. Elliot Sellers directs this twisted tragedy for British/Basque band Crystal Fighters’ latest single off of their second LP Cave Rave, to be released later this month on May 27th via Atlantic. Keep an eye out for them as they will be touring North American for the entire month of June.

Bonus: “You & I” gets a super dancy Gigamesh remix. Lend your ears to dem beats below, or download the track here.

Portugal. The Man - Purple Yellow Red and Blue (Official Video)

Premiered last week, “Purple Yellow Red and Blue,” Portugal. The Man’s gloriously upbeat and wonderfully evil new single, featuring HAIM sisters Este and Danielle on vocals, was easily the most exciting music news in a while, and now, the magnificent track has a trippy, insane clip which seems to be drawing inspiration from born-celebrity tabloid media stars who have risen to success through bad reality TV and sex tapes and stuff. When asked what is happening in the video, John Gourley replied “I think the treatment read ‘A Day In The Life’.” Following on from the fantastic title track, “Purple Yellow Red and Blue” is the second single taken from Evil Friends, Portugal. The Man’s forthcoming Danger Mouse-produced album due out June 4th via Atlantic Records. Watch the Noel Paul & Stefan Moore-directed video below and then watch it again and again. :)

We’ve always loved Portugal. The Man and their new single “Evil Friends” made us love them even more. The song is taken from their forthcoming album of the same name—their 7th since 2006 (!)—which is scheduled for release on June 4th via Atlantic Records. Even better is the fact that it was produced by evil genius Danger Mouse. Check out the video, directed by Michael Ragen, below.
