Whilst not strictly a music video, I was impressed by Stephen Rose’s direction for this short video for Tom Scott’s new clothing range. It features Thurston Moore on the soundtrack to great effect and makes for a very haunting piece of media.

Great albums – Great Artwork out 24/08/09
The Mew artwork appears to the the result of importing a butterfly image into illustrator and pissing about for a bit is by far the most expressive and impressive artwork released this week. Its weird, intriguing and somewhat indecipherable.

Moldover CD Cover (including inbuilt Theremin)
Crazy cool controllerist Moldover has released one of the best limited edition album covers I’ve ever seen. It perfectly represents his reliance and mastering of the technology he produced the album on. Moldover has put up a youtube video to demonstrate the CD…check it out.

Love the colour blend above (Echo Expansion – VA) and the 3D text and upside down Big Ben below (Telekinesis! by Telekinesis).

Great albums – Great Artwork out 10/08/09
Some beautiful artwork out this week. Up top is the fabulous Luke Vibert. The artwork is both playful and sophisticated – a perfect match for Luke’s music.
More from Cobra Starship, Polly and the Billets Doux and James Yorkston & the Bigs Eyes Family Players...

RichBeatles: Rockband long format advert (and game intro)
This is a beautiful piece of animation. Essentially tracking the Beatles career (all 10 years shorter than you think eh?) the animation progresses, becoming increasingly more psychedelic as the music does so (although not quite chronologically correct). Hands down one of the best animated shorts I’ve ever seen. It almost makes me want to buy the game.
Thanks to Iwan from the Automatic for the heads up.

RichMonogrenade – Ce Soir Music Video
This is Monogrenade’s first music video and they’ve set the bar pretty high for the rest of their careers! Directed by Christophe Collette the video is a whirling dreamlike stop motion. The post production effects are great. The result is truly haunting.
Check out Christophe Collette’s website for more of his work – it’s a flash site so I can’t link to anything more than the index page but it’s fairly easy to navigate.

Only one album cover I’ve seen that I like enough to post on the blog this week. Well done A-Ha.

These stand out like sparkling diamonds in a sea of turd. Why is it so hard for record labels to put albums out with attractive artwork? I know they have to fulfil certain criteria the biggest of which means it must favour being picked up by your average shopper in Tesco but that doesn’t mean we should be faced with soulless mediocrity.
The above image, Speck Mountains – Some Sweet Relief, is very bleak and offers a poor example to my above complaint but that’s not to say it’s a great looking album cover.
