Calgary - Bon Iver

Bon Iver is one of the top folk acts out there and if you at all like folk, I would be sure to check it out. In Calgary, Justin Vernon's hauntingly beautiful voice strings itself together with a lonely, electric melody to create a perfect harmony that will keep you hitting replay over and over. The buildup in this song is something totally new for Bon Iver but if it's any indication of where he is headed in the future, I am not worried in the slightest. This video itself is a beautiful combination of muted colors and clever cinematography, and almost is worth watching without the song.

tUnE-yArDs - Bizness

Some of the most inventive and original music I've heard in a long time. tUnE-yArDs new album is called W H O K I L L and I would suggest checking out the whole thing. From the songs I've heard it is an excellent album. Getting to the video itself, this white girl can really belt it out. The colorful sets and costumes add a while 'nother layer to the song, and the mini jazz breakdown at the end just kicks ass.

Cannons & July - Youth Lagoon

Sorry for the delay between posts. I just graduated high school (yay) and have been dealing with all the junk that accompanies graduation. Anyway, I friend of mine recently made a mix cd for my car which contained the two songs by Youth Lagoon. I liked them enough to dedicate a post to the band themselves rather than merely just one song.

Get 'em right : Here
and Here

The First one is cannons, the Second one is July (I prefer the former).

Hot Potato - Freestyle Fellowship

If you need a reminder of what the 90s were like, this one's for you. It sounds a little ridiculous at the start but I promise it's worth the listen. A friend of mine found this as part of a mix that he bought in Little 5 for about a buck. Pure gold. There is no music video for it, but do listen to it.

Freaks and Geeks - Childish Gambino

This is absolutely nuts. Not only can this guy write some hysterical comedy, he can also rap. This guy lays down lyrics about as fast as I've ever seen and his beat is incredible. This is a MUST if you are a fan of rap.

Yonkers - Tyler, The Creator

OK, so somehow I forgot to post this the second it went online. For this I apologize. If you were wondering why the video is so dark, it's because Tyler directed it himself. This one isn't for the feint of heart (not that any OF really is). If you are a fan of the last few OF tapes, this one is definitely for you. On a side note, Tyler's fashion sense is fairly awesome.

Molliwopped - Earl Sweatshirt

If you have been part of the OFWGKTA bubble that has blown up over the past 3 weeks, I suggest checking this out. While Odd Future had nothing to do with the beat, Weird Eye does an awesome job. I only wish the song was longer. While this isn't a music video, it is still worth a look.
