Courtney Barnett – “Everybody Here Hates You” [Video]

Courtney Barnett has reunited with long time collaborator Danny Cohen on the video for new single “Everybody Here Hates You” which is here today. The award winning director ingeniously takes us inside Barnett’s brain as it slowly implodes, to dizzying, brilliant effect.

“Everybody Here Hates You” features an anthemic sing-along choruses and the single is the superb final installment from the creative period of Barnett’s life which gave us her sophomore album Tell Me How You Really Feel.

You can catch Courtney below on one of her many world tour dates.

CHAI – “Curly Adventure” [Video]

CHAI – the Japanese four-piece has shared a new video for “Curly Adventure,” off of PUNK, their sophomore album released on Burger Records earlier this month. “Curly Adventure” follows a string of previously released videos – the hyper-stylized “CHOOSE GO!”, “Fashionista”, and “GREAT JOB!”

The “Curly Adventure” video was designed in collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist / musician Sean Solomon. In a swirl of vibrant colors and eccentric scenes, CHAI themselves star as animated characters, designed by the band’s primary artistic director and bassist, YUUKI, and realized and animated by LA-based artist/animator Sean Solomon.

You can pick up their sophomore album at Burger Records HERE.

Flaural – “1616” [Video]

Denver-based four-piece Flaural is set to release their debut LP, Postponement, which is due out April 19, 2019 via Staycation Records. Following a string of EPs — 2015’s Thin King and 2016’s Over Imaginary Cigarettes — and produced by James Barone (Beach House, Tennis), Flaural’s Postponement developed over a trying three years for the experimental rock band.

The video for “1616” follows the early release of the album’s lead single, “The Thinker.” They go on to say, “When you know its backstory, what initially comes across like a catchy freakout takes on more weight; an underlying sadness becomes more prominent, the waves of layered instruments starting to feel like an escape towards the inner recesses of a person’s mind as they try to reckon with what has happened while they grasp at memories dissolving over time.” The upbeat, emotional track ends with a dark, hectic, instrumental frenzy of piercing baritone saxophone squeaks layered over sporadic, aggressive guitar and driving drums.
