Covenant - Call The Ships to Port (directed by...
I do like Sweden for this, this or that. But Covenant is soo… flat. Those scary future-synth-pop-ambient tunes are kinda silly. Not 2 silly for tank9 + it’s 2009 = youtube = fan-made videos = 4 free. So Cs CTS2P has a video now, made with pure enthusiasm. I like it a lot! U can watch it here. (via)

Pens - High In The Cinema (directed by Daniel...
Did you know FUN was back in? According 2 myspace these are the penspenspenis and signed to Lick my Dick Records. Funny, eh? Or tripped out? Their debut album, Hey Friend, What You Doing? is out on De Stijl though. How ever: these girls’ music is kinda lo-fi and so is the video: take the trip and watch the Daniel Swan-mirrored directed video here. (via) + RIP VHS camera!

Harlem Shakes - Strictly Game (directed by...
Here comes your new eye-game + a treat 4 your ears. This video for SG out of HSs Technicolor Health album on Gigantic, deals with those annoying youtube videos for songs that are nothing more than a compilation of press shots rotating while the music plays. Pure fun! Enjoy the Supermarché-directed video here. (via)

Silk Flowers - Shadows In Daylight (directed by...
Yes, here comes the next trippy video 4 the summer of 09: this New York-based trio’s dark-yet-naïve sound is a wild krautrock-mix, an hommage 2 Kraftwerk, Suicide or Joy Division. SF is made out of Ethan Swan, Aviram Cohen + Peter Schuette, video directed by Gang Gang Dance’s Brian DeGraw. Enjoy it here. (via)

Mika Miko - Totion (directed by Steven Andrew...
Totally digging this one: Mika Miko is high-fi lo-psychadelica from L.A. whose rhythms and staccato guitars recall late 1970s bands like Delta 5, Liliput and the Raincoats. Totion, off their We Be Xuxa second full-length, brings u nice inter-layered yells and chants, plus Lichtenberg wardrobe. Watch the Steven Andrew Garcia-directed video, shot at the Cabazon Dinosaurs Park, here. (via)

Riton & Primary 1 - Who's There? (directed by...
New tune out on Phantasy soon. The identity of who did this track is a secret for now, but the rumour mill suggests that it’s Sam Eastgate’s vocals on it, and it does sound like it. But who knows? 4 sure this catchy track gets better with each listen. The less-is-more video is made by Lvis1990: try it here. (via)

Wavves - No Hope Kids (directed by Pete Ohs)
This anthemic shitgaze no-fi punk song about nothing I could watch all day every day. The new Wavves video features footage of the band touring Europe and simultaneously hanging out, smoking stuff, drinking other stuff and generally rocking out. Wicked. The track comes from the Fat Possum Records re-release of the LP Wavvves. Watch the video here. (via)

Vitalic - Your Disco Song (directed by Christine...
Vitalic is back with a 1st release from his new album, out 09/2009 on Different. 4 me this sounds way too much like Crystal Castles, but maybe it’s 8-bit arrangements are now top of the cool school. Video was directed by Christine Massy & Brice Van Der Haegen out of Brussels and produced by wafwafwafwaf, watch the promo here. (via)

Rye Rye + M.i.A. - Bang (directed by M.i.A.)
Dope beat, I kinda like this joint but that lousy grainy, gritty quality really sucks. Between Rye’s fashion sense, flow, and club beats, she fits easily into the expanding Maya / Diplo / Santi / Spank / Blank axis. Watch the video here. (via)
